Mohammed, I appreciate you trying to help. My Windows settings are as follows. ( I am not on site but most likely all the users are set up this way) Under user variables TEMP C:\Users\Jim\Appdata\Local\Temp TMP C:\Users\Jim\Appdata\Local\Temp
Under system variables TEMP C:\Windows\Temp TMP C:\Windows\TEMP But as I said, when I set the SCRATCH settings in the RBASE CFG file on the server (that is where the DB is stored) to TMP, Rmail will not work. It will only work when it is set to ON. If all the scratch files are on the server, I would think that would affect the DB speed also? I am just not having much luck with speed and with Rmail.

All of the proper files needed to run Rmail are located in the DB folder on the server. If I use the SCRATCH setting of ON rmail runs properly but all the scratch files are located in the DB folder on the server. I do not like that because the scratch files build up during the day and do not clear as users open and close the application. If I change the SCRATCH setting to TMP, rmail will not operate at all. We use Outlook365 as the SMTP server. What am I missing on the proper setup so I can use RMAIL and at the same time have the SCRATCH files go to the users TEMP folder on their own computers?
