Shure, but text compresses very well. So it will give you lots of
extra space and CPU load... And there is no simple way to uncompress the
directory, it it makes too much load...

If you are using virtual servers, you can move some of these servers
(orif you have only one - this) to another drive (change Registry or in Imail 
Administrator) - Its
always good to have the Imail NOT on the system drive.
The Server gets very slow if he runs out of Swapping space....

I changed the drive of a whole Imail 4 Installation before upgrading
by exporting the Imail registry, opend the export file in notepad,
replace all drive letters (eg. "c:\" to "d:\") saved an dubble clicked
on the file to re-import it to registry. Then I moved the mailboxes,
restarted the server and anything worked fine...
Before doing so, mage a backup of your registry, which you don't
change. So you can easyly go back...

Matti
