Sorry, the former. (IE when I convert that 1GB mbx INBOX to mix, I don't want to end up with another 1GB file, rather a bunch of smaller ones). So would that mean that it would have to take multiple appends or actually de-selecting & reselecting the mailbox on a regular basis to make it produce multiple output files?
The best way would probably be to break up the multiple appends if the destination is mix format, perhaps under a flag. That's a bit of work, but not out of the question. I'll look into it, since I suspect our sysmgt team would like that when we convert our main servers. Thanks.
Hmm, a chunk size of 1MB? That means that those 1GB inboxen will turn into 1000+ 1MB files. Wouldn't 5~10MB be a better compromise between size & number of files?
It's hard to pick the right number. Our sysmgt folks felt that 10MB was too large for backups. 1MB was maybe a bit too small, but there's not much data yet to say.
The value is MIXDATAROLL in mix.c; currently it is defined as MEGABYTE, but you could easily change it to be (5*MEGABYTE), etc.
