That way set it up as a scheduled task and forget it! -----Original Message----- From: Randy Armbrecht [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2003 10:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] WEB Messaging 100% CPU - followup Len, I understand what you are saying - chalk this up to 20 years of an engineer's mentality- do exactly what you are told... When I see the advise to keep SPOOL clean - I keep the SPOOL file clean...with no worry about what is in subfolders, as I never saw any advise on the subfolders in KB, etc..... I am proof that you can teach an old dogs new tricks...you just have to beat the old dog with a stick! Thanks!

The ideal is to have the spool directory on its own partition (how about on its own controller+disk?, which is easy to add for any Imail system that is stressed), then keep the entire partition clean and defragged, with defragging going super fast do to minimum amount of files vs defragging of "I keep my spool/ very clean on an a 10 GB partition with 400k files on it". I find it hard to understand how one could consider the spool/whatever/ dir as not being part of the spool/ objective and filesystem. It's all part of the "file/space allocation" system.
