Hello By quite hard on the disc, I mean that James uses it quite intensively. When James is running, other applications running on the server have their operations adversely affected.

Hence my looking for ways to make changes. > Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 07:22:59 +0200 > Subject: Re: Reducing disc contention > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > Hi Pete, > > James will not store sent emails anywhere by itself.
