Hmm...I guess it depends on how you think of it. If I had 1GB inbox with 10MB dataroll,
that's 100 files that get touched every day, with a 20MB data roll, that's 50 files. If
I'm going to be making backups anyway on all these files, then I would rather have bigger
file sizes so that I don't have such large number of files in each directory.
Or, most people update messages that are more recent. If I aggregated them into one file,
then 1 or 2 files are back'ed up each day. vs a larger number of files if I had smaller
dataroll.

We defined our MIXDATAROLL to be 20MB and it converts correctly using

As for what size, it's purely guessing on my end. I think it really
depends on how your users manage their INBOXes, the size of their mailboxes
in general, and how you do backup. I started out w/ 10MB. But looking at
some of our biggest users (1GB inboxes), it seemed that most of the .mix
files get touched each day, or at least several files. Given the large
number of files with a 10MB dataroll, I up'ed it to 20MB instead. Haven't
had time to look at it again to see if I need to up it a 3rd time....
i'm confused - if most of your 10M files are getting touched every
day, why didn't you DECREASE the size? Presuming your goal is to
not back up all the files every night.
