(have problems allowing us to send and receive email?) Thanks.
With the old machine, I only say idle times under 90% when a user had their POP3 client set to not delete mail from the server and their mailbox grew to 100 MB or so. Then the POP3 server has to do a lot of I/O to get to the new messages. The issue is not so much the disk space as the time it takes to wade through all the old stuff. I try to convince users to correct their configurations.
