noticed that the davmail menu bar item is flashing as i watch my hard drive space drop - fan is cranking & CPU is maxed out. quit davmail it stopped, but ate up about 6gb. how do i locate the 6gb file and delete it? i'm guessing it was an out of control log file or something? thanks for your help.

OS X 10.6.4
Thunderbird 3.1
Lightning 1.0b2
Davmail 3.6.6 - 1032

    Lightning 1.0b2 is just broken: you probably hit the invalid credentials infinite loop => clear your password in Thunderbird settings.

    About the log file size, the davmail.log file will always remain quite small, but OSX redirects console output somewhere else, you should probably use the standard OSX log console application to clear this log file.

    thanks! cleared my password in thunderbird. i deleted all log files in console as well as with onyx for mac, but the 6gb have still not been recovered. is there anywhere else that i should look?

    I would look in Library/Logs, but I am not a mac expert...

    JDiskReport may also help.

    => changed default logging settings to disable console log in GUI mode
