Subject: GOExchange vs ESEUTIL etc

I've been looking at GOExchange because of the boasts that the manufacturers
make about it and the doom scenario they put out.  It seems that the product
uses ESEUTIL and ISINTEG on a regular basis to keep white-space at bay,
amongst other things.

But my research of best practice tells me that doing offline database
maintenance is not required unless there's a major change, such as the
removal of a lot of mailboxes.  I haven't ever heard of the performance
issues in Exchange that they talk about: unusual behaviour, lost messages,
etc unless there's an underlying hardware problem.

I've had a 1Gb mailbox removed as a user has left the organisation.  I have
1378Mb of free space after online defragmentation, and a priv1.edb of
18,714,024 bytes.

Do I need to do an offline defrag or can I let it go?  I know that I don't
need GoExchange.  There are no problems with the system so I'm inclined to
leave it alone...
