"optimize for performance". the more RAM you have, the smoother the work. 2. an UNCOMPRESSED mail folder - either on a non-NTFS volume, *or* NTFS with compression DISABLED for the mailbase folder(s). -- Best regards, vitalie mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is (none) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
