Several operating systems limit to 2GB any file, assuming this folder  
is a file (not directory mail).

It hapens when the file is limited, it´s like it is currupted. Use  
command line, login as root, go to where the file is make a backup  
copy and use
"mail -f filename", delete some messages (d  xx yy zz) and quit (q).  
The system will rewrite the file. Have the user present with you and  
let the user tell you what messages to delete, try mesages to the end  
of the file. Ask the user to login on Horde/Imp, to see the result.  
Repeate the operation if necessary.

I use system quota and sometimes a user exceeds its quota and the  
result is alike. This procedure solves the problem.

Recent IMP version shows the size of wich folder and the total size.
