Mail filling disk space

Hello
Looking at a friends mac air, her aol account is up the spout. Mail has created many duplicate recovered messages.
In system log I get
RecoveredMessage: Error deserializing message property list for file ...
Unexpected character M at line 1 ...
PLAIN security layer: no] Failed to start the SASL connection
so I followed a command to rebuild the mail index
mdimport ~/Library/Mail/ suggested in another post
Terminal says
/Library/Spotlight/Microsoft Office.mdimporter/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Office: mach-o, but wrong architecture
2013-02-22 10:43:32.535 mdimport[1226:707]
Cannot find function pointer OfficeImporterPluginFactory for factory BFA4E323-1889-11D9-82C8-000A959816BE in CFBundle/CFPlugIn 0x7fc5b15009d0 </Library/Spotlight/Microsoft Office.mdimporter> (bundle, not loaded)
Any clues as to what that is?
Thanks

I resolved this by deleting the mail account and re-creating it. It was an IMAP account on AOL so mail just resynced again.

Why XI keeps filling disk space

Hi guru,
I have installed XI 7.0 and upgrade to SP11. just after the successfully upgrade to SP11, I check the disk and there is 8G space. 2 monthes passed, now only 200M space left. I then deactviate all adapter and no message is processing by XI, but XI still keeps filling disk space, I want to know why.
besides, could you tell me normally what components are filling disk space. AE? IS? SLD?.....

Hi, Chen
Well, usually J2EE stack's logs have maximum size limit. So, it
is not the reason.
Regarding ABAP stack, for some reason, ABAP's dev traces grows
over GB sometimes.
So, could you check under the folder /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS00/work and
trace files?
Good Luck
Sejoon

Alert on Low disk space

Hi All
I have created an alert of WMI event in sql server which send mail if disk space on D drive is less than 10GB
Query :
SELECT * from __InstanceModificationEvent
WITHIN 60
WHERE
TargetInstance ISA 'CIM_LogicalDisk'
AND
TargetInstance.FreeSpace < 10000000000
AND
TargetInstance.DeviceID = 'D:'
when I enable this alert It sends alert for low disk space
but some time it does'nt send alerts. I am not sure when this __InstanceModificationEvent occure
and is there any another way to alert low disk space in my mailbox

Mail logs filling up disk space: why? ok to delete?

Computer spec’s: 2GHz Mac Mini with 4GB of RAM and a 250GB flash storage. I am running OS 10.9.5 and Mail 7.3.
Problem: My storage has been mysteriously filling up, with about 200 GB in “other” in “about this Mac.” I would delete files and then it would fill up again. Using WhatSize, I determined that Mail logs took up 107GB, with two files accounting for most of this (details below).
Questions: Is it safe to delete Mail logs? Why are some so big? Why are dates so random? Can I prevent large mail logs in the future?
In Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Logs, here are the dates and size of the largest files named in format: [long stream of numbers and letters]=imap.gmail.com.txt
July 15: 55.8 GB
Sept 3: 47.17 GB
Aug 6: 5.43 GB
Aug 6 3.64 GB
Then there are six files between 312GB and 867.2 GB and many others named in the above format and multiple files named in this format: [date]_GmailDelete.log dating back to May 21.
Thank you for your help.

Hi, I'm having a very similar trouble but I do not use Gmail. I have several mail accounts, essentially from 2 mail server providers (hosting and registrar companies), most accounts in IMAP but some still in POP.
I'm on a PowerBook pro, retina 15 mid 2012, 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7, with 750 Gb SSD disk", running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Since one week I experience the same problem, disk space filling up without appearant reasons. In the Data/Library/Logs/Mail I have 541 files (!!), some of them very huge. I have deleted a 75 Gb file and another of 13Gb, but I still have files from more than 9Gb (ten file obver 1Gb).
I have changed passwords in my accounts and even to access my hosting proividers. But no changes.
Deleting the huge files in the Logs doesn't seem to affect Mails except the fact that I have to enter all POP / IMAP and SMTP passwords :-(
In the logs, the hugest files are "2015-03-18_IMAPMailboxSyncEngine.log", 2mail.mydomainname-d44f367b-6650-4ddf-9cc6-4fe08822ab6c.txt", "2015-03-21_SocketStreamEvents.log", "137778C8-7690-48F3-877E-48D400322117-mail.mydomainename.txt", and I have plenty like that.
The question is, where the problemn comes from ??
When deleting the log files ... the problem is not solved because it continues to filling it with new logs, again ..
Thank you for your assistance and help.

I keep getting a Warning that I'm running out of disk space. Even after I deleted all of my photos and e-mail I still show 0 available. Please help!

Correct KiltedTim the iPhone does not have a disk drive, and it does give an error message about running out of disk space. I'm here searching for how to clear it and/or what causes it. A friends 8gb iphone 3G has started giving her that message. It is not jailbroken, has no videos, 400 songs, 20 apps. The system information says there is 0 bytes free. There is 4.6 Gb of "other" data taking up the remaining free space. None of the few apps on the phone I expect would take up that much space with data. Even her emails and saved text messages shouldn't fill 4GB. New iPhone coming in the next couple of days. Easiest to just reset the old one after the upgrade and redownload the apps to make sure not to mess things up.

Error msg: Sending of password for user did not succeed. Mail server responded: Not enough disk space - what's the deal?

I've been checking my email via webmail for a week and am back in the office today. Fired up Thunderbird, expecting it to pick up all my email, but it gets nothing and tells me…
Sending of password for user [email protected] did not succeed. Mail server pop.ipower.com responded: Not enough disk space
Haven't seen this particular error message come up in searches via google and at mozilla. There's definitely disk space on my machine. I'm running TB on a Mac (OSX 10.6.8). Disk Space options under Preferences > Advanced let me assign up to 1024 mb for the cache, which I've done, and cleared.
Has anyone encountered this before? Got a solve/troubleshooting process? Thanks!

Thanks. I do compact regularly (TB prompts me to) and did it (several times) via Preferences today to try and get TB past this error message.
Also went thru and Trashed + Empty Trashed as many messages as possible from the inbox, just in case. Still no-go.

Logs are filling up disk space

Dear all
i am facing a problem in my database
the database is in archive log mode and continuous archiving of log is filling up the disk space
please let me know what should i do so that at the end of activity there should be no complaints of logs filling up
i wil ensure the big disk space
please let me know what kind of administration i have to do with this issue ...

hello Sagar
when you use RMAN for backup you can set RETENTION POLICY for window of day or redundancy for example
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3 DAYS;
or
RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 3;
and when you backup use "BACKUP ... PLUS ARCHIVELOG" for example
BACKUP DEVICE TYPE sbt
DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
it cause that RMAN when backup your database , backup your archived logs too ;
and about that two first CONFIGURE command
first command cause backupfiles and archived log files that backuped up before than 3 days signed obsolete in V$BACKUP_FILES view
(you can query the V$BACKUP_FILES view and check the OBSOLETE column)
second command cause backupfiles and archived log files that backuped up 3 times signed obsolete in V$BACKUP_FILES view
and if you use "DELETE OBSOLETE ..." command in RMAN it delete obsolete files
and your archived logs that backued up and are obsolete will be delete
AND you can use DBMS_SCHEDULER for synchronize this routine

The message is coming from your mail server.
Looks like your server is out of disk space.

Quitting Mail with no free disk space causes it to freeze.

I run out of disk space frequently and, as a result, have encountered one recurring problem.
Mail will attempt to retrieve new messages without disk space on which to store them.
After freeing disk space, Mail remains caught in a loop. Clicking "Get Mail" doesn't refresh the process. Attempting to quit causes Mail to freeze and only a force-quit will end the process.

1. Check what is going on in the database.Seems like some huge dml process are going on.
2. You can increase the redo logfile size.Currently its around 48MB, incresae it to 100MB.While he probably should increase his redo log size, that will have zero impact on the amount of disk space consumed by the archivelog files. If the OP is generating 1gb/min of redo, he will consume 1gb/min of disk space for archivelogs. It may be with 1 ea. 4gb file every 4 minutes or 1 ea. 256mb files every 15 seconds, but it still comes out the same in the end. Redo file size influences how often a log switch occurs and the size of the individual archivelog files, but it has no bearing on the amount of redo that has to be archived over a given period.

SQL Logs filling up disk space

Hi there,
On my DEV SQL Server - suddenly the logs have been filling up space so quickly - this morning I increased 10 GIGs and now it is full again just in a few hours.
What action should I take?
- Is it okay to switch Recovery Model from Full to Simple? (It is DEV server)
- Anything else?
Thanks.

Hi frob,
For development databases, if you don’t care that if recent data changes are lost, you can change the recovery model from full to simple. Then shrink the transaction log file to a reasonable size, below is a example for you, please note that you can't shrink
it below its original size.
USE AdventureWorks2012;
GO
-- Truncate the log by changing the database recovery model to SIMPLE.
ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012
SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
GO
-- Shrink the truncated log file to 1024 MB.
DBCC SHRINKFILE (AdventureWorks2012_Log, 1024);
GO
Additionally, there are other options resolving the issue that SQL Server log file grows out of control as follows.
• Backing up transaction logs frequently.
• Adding a log file on a different disk.
• Completing or killing a long-running transaction.

Disk space being filled rapidly and only cleared upon restart. what's up?

hey,
yesterday my macbook pro gave me a disk space error, which i get occasionally because my hard drive is usually pretty full. I try to keep at least 7gb free though, and yesterday i knew that didn't make sense.
turns out my hard drive is being filled really quickly with "something". not very consistantly. sometimes the disk usage in the activity monitor stays consistant, sometimes it moves slowly. and sometimes it will fill mb's a second. it's rediculous. then everything will slow way down and make any sort of troubleshooting really difficult, so i have to to force shut down the computer, and start it up. i then will have 3-5 gb free again, and it's anywhere from 5-30 minutes before it'll start filling again. i'm trying to find associations to applications or anything, and have been looking up log issues and whatnot - to no avail. i used diskinventory to see the space used, and it strangely brought up 66 gb used vs the 70 something i saw in finder and activity monitor.
any ideas? this is making work really inconvenient on here, needless to say.
thanks,
luke

Running on the margins (inadequate free disk space) is asking for problems. Get an ext HD and off-load stuff from the MBP's HD. I usually recommend 20-30% free and with relatively cheap HDs on the market, why push the boundaries? See these:

Software Update: Java for OS X 2013-002 1.0
This update, upon booting, has caused my disk space to fill up and my system freezes up. The same happens to my coworker's computer. We both watch the remaining disk space decrease and the "spinning rainbow appears" and we must restart. What do we do?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How to know the disk space -(filled and not filled) in Macbook pro?

How to know the disk space -(filled and not filled) in Macbook pro? what is the easiest way to know about it? how can i know a % of disk space that is filled in my mac book pro (2012 model MD101)

Hi ...
What's taking up disk space > OSX Tips The Storage Display
Click your Apple menu  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

How can I regain the choice of merely opening/viewing an e-mail photo attachment or downloading it and taking up unnecessary disk space?

Idiot Internet Explorer always gave me the option of merely opening a document or saving it to my hard drive. I thought Firefox was giving me that option also, until I started realizing over the past two or three months - I've been using Firefox since December - that every photo I look at is being downloaded and saved onto my hard drive!
I had zero disk space left to do Internet security updates with last Thursday. Been cleaning out my "Downloads" file. Most of the stuff I didn't even choose to download. It's just being saved in the file automatically.

If the files are loose inside the iPhoto library package here's one way to get them out:
1 - open your library, select all of the photos in the library and add a unique keyword, XXXX, to all of them.
2 - Rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
3 - open the library, create a smart album with the criterial "Keyword is not XXXX".
4 - the smart album will include those photos that were not visible in your original library. Select them and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move them to the iPhoto Trash bin.
5 - empty the iPhoto Trash bin via the iPhoto ➙ Empty iPhoto Trash Bin menu option.
6 - empty the Trash bin in the Dock to remove the files from your hard drive completely.
Be sure to read Note 1 above. You can use the new library without your books, slideshow, etc. and it will not contain those errant files. Of course delete the original library if the new one is satisfactory.
