PostOffice major failure!

[Alexei Zoubov <azstech@xxxxxxxxx>]

PstOffice was behaving decently lately and suddenly the whole 
computer with itools 6.7 and PostOffice just  stopped working. The 
mouse would move, but either would not have any effect or turn into 
rolling ball for a few minutes - then back.

I restarted in single mode and checked with fsck -=y, there were some 
minor errors that were repaired. Computer still wouldn't start.

Then I used single user mode to move PostOffice out of Startupitems 
folder. This time computer started, loaded iTools and started serving 
pages OK, but without the PostOffice, naturally.

I couldn't find any hint on how to start PostOffice manually, so I 
put the PO folder into Startupitems again and rebooted - computer 
wouldn't start again.

After several unsuccessful tries, I managed to get computer up 
without PO, but now it started to act strangely even without PO - it 
looks that some work is going on that is preventing it from 
functioning normally. The mouse either doesn't work or works with a 
several seconds delay, or turns into the ball for 10-15 seconds!

It may be overflooded logs, I would really appreciate any hints on 
how to empty them and where they are!

I don't think the mailboxes are full - they have been cleaned regularly.

I tried to find any troubleshooting hints but it looks that there is 
no advice on how to deal with such global failures!

Anybody with an experience?

Alexei
