Using the RRR|Chive method I started to delete 2.5 million (2,449,811 to be exact) Email Messages one evening and it was finished the next morning when I returned.
I just looked the run time from the logs. It took 7.5 hours. It put some extra (CPU) load on the system but I didn't notice any performance decrease in the UI. If you need you can specific a nicepausetime setting to lessen the load. Jason On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 9:04 AM, Reiser, John J <john.j.rei...@lmco.com> wrote: > ** > > Agreed.
