I have maybe 200 mailboxes and pass maybe 2000 messages a day (not that heavy). I set my Diskeeper to fire off Sunday morning at 2AM. I don't stop any services and have never had a problem. Come back in Monday ready for another week.

It runs via the scheduler, early in the morning and only defrags the IMail directory. We also use Diskeeper for everything else with the IMail directory excluded. We also run the immsgexp.exe utility daily before the IMail defrag that deletes all mail older than 30 days. This keeps the mailbox sizes from getting to large and makes the IMail directory defrag take very little time. This has been running without any problems for at least 6 months.
