[imp] Maximum # of messages?

[Hanser, Kevin]

Found the problem... turns out it wasn't IMP at all :)  Stupid user error...
we had inadvertantly changed permissions on the "mbox" file in the home dir
so that the user couldn't read it... in an effort to protect some other
files.  DOH!

Thanx for the help though!

Kevin

I can think of two things: either the mailbox is corrupted, or the size of
the 
mailbox bumps up the amount of information that we need to store in the
phplib 
session so much that phplib dies and gives us bad information. In that case,

either decreasing the amount of messages we keep track of at once (you can
find 
this at the top of the messageRange() function in mailbox.php3 and 
message.php3), or increasing the session data field size in Oracle, might
help.
