RE: UceArchive Folder
I use IMF Manager daily but usually only handle less than a couple thousand messages. You may want to delete anything over XX days old first to get down to a manageable level.

RE: UceArchive Folder
I've used IMF Companion in several situations for some time now, and have not experienced any problems with it. I found one server were someone had turned on IMF, and then ignored it. IMF opened and found 37,000 something messages in UCEArchive. Had no problem other than the boring task of plowing through all those messages. I notice on the site that the author states that there have been some reports of buffer overflows, but there is no mention of it other than that. I do have a copy of IMF Archive, if you would like. It is a small file and I could send it to you as an attachment. I did not like it so much, because it does not allow for group deletes, nor does it handily preview test in messages as does IMF Companion. \\Steve// From: vbs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 9:37 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: UceArchive Folder I turned on IMF a short while ago and have not thought about it util I found thousands of messages filling up the UceArchive Folder.
