Bill,
Spool fragmentation is caused almost exclusively by the logs (other files don't permanently live there). You should write a job to move the logs off of that partition to another partition and this will remove the fragmentation and also defragment the log when it gets written to another drive.
User accounts are generally not a fragmentation issue unless you have many mbx files that grow very large and don't get wiped from the server. Since these files are only used by one user at a time, fragmentation in them is mostly inconsequential, and I wouldn't be concerned.

I'm running IMail 8 on Windows 2000 Server. I've been manually defragging the spool and users partitions early every morning. That's getting old. I've seen postings about Diskeeper, but I can't justify the $250.00 right now. Are there any cheap alternatives?
Analysis of my users partition will report a defrag is needed about 6 hours after I complete one. Should I schedule every 6 hours or more frequently?
