So I am having an uneventful day, enjoying this and other threads on the imail list and decide that maybe I should go in and move some log files out of the spool (historically we've allowed log files to accumulate through the year and then archived them to an offline directory for backup). Typically our log files are only 20 megs a day during the week and maybe 3-5 megs on the weekend. so relatively small. We currently use Imail 7.15 and have used imail for several years now. I have never noticed having a few hundred log fails make any difference in imail's performance.
anyway, I pc-anywhere'd into our colo'd server and created a new dir called 2003 and selected all the log files through June 30 and ctrl-x to cut and went to the new dir and couldn't paste (paste wasn't available in properties either). which was weird. so then I tried drag and drop and that wouldn't work. so I tried dragging a smaller text file in the same dir and can't seem to copy/paste or drag and drop any files??? any thoughts why all of a sudden I cannot use copy/paste or drag n drop in Windows 2000 Advanced Server?? I normally use it through pc anywhere and typically update my ima files by just dragging them to notepad, updating them and then saving them. It appears this function is no longer useable in any directory on the server?! I know this isn't an 2k server list, but thought there may be some immediate answers from my favorite list!

I think it's safe to say that it is not vital to remove log files, unless there is a specific reason (such as lack of hard drive space, or Ipswitch coming out with some information explaining why you should). Having an extra 30 or so files in the directory would be a problem if there were 500+ files in there, but even in that case those 30 or so files wouldn't have much of an effect on performance. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
