Title: Message

Sorry about the multipul posts. I received a number of post-reject messages from list server as I have changed my email address a few times since subscribing. I therefore tried a few of my old addresses in reply to: field to see if I would then be accepted. It was only then that I realised that original messages had been posted.   Woops -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Tolmachoff (Lists) Sent: 28 November 2003 16:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Mailbox storage issue We got the first 2 posts.   John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Aitken Sent: Friday, November 28, 2003 8:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Mailbox storage issue   Is there any way of getting Imail to store messages in another format (ie single files per message - similar to cyrus IMAP) rather than one big file for every mailbox. The reason I ask is that we have around 300 users that like to keep a lot of email accessible on server. Some of users have mailboxes anywhere from 100-600MB in size. The problem we have is that when we are doing backups nearly 2/3 of our total 16GB of email files are changing daily, making our daily incremental backups around 10GB.   Anything I can do other then hack user usage down in general.       Thanks       Andrew Aitken Computer Officer School of the Built Environment Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh EH14 4AS   Tel: 0131 451 4406 Mob: 07739 514015
