Hi Bonno,

Excellent request - schedulable maintenance.

This actually came in recently from the Ipswitch IMail Administrator for our
corporate mail!  I've added to the product backlog.

bye for now,

Hi Tripp,

I read the KB article, my mail was in response to a message from you in this
forum where you pointed to that article.

However, my problem with that solution is, I want to do the purging during
off-hours. So I would like to have to 10% limit in operation for normal
hours but would like to have the option to force purging the mailfolders
during the night. As some people overhere have mailboxes wel over 2GB and
some individual mail folders over 1GB you can see what will happen if
suddenly IMail decides it's time to purge one of those folders. :-(

For those four folders with a virus in them... it is also a problem for ME
to purge the mail during off-hours. I can set the secified key but then I
have get into those mail folders and delete one mail. As I don't have all
the passwords.... but ok, for those 4 mailboxes I can ask the password, hope
they will give it to me, and then log in to their account in the evening.

About your comment....

I have f-prot run the weekly scan in reporting mode only. I were not to do
that how would I ever find those virusses that still reside in a mailbox?

Groetjes,


Bonno Bloksma
