Hello Tbbeta, Probably others experience this too, is there maybe a way around it:
After using TB for quite a while, the TBB-Files of my main folders (e.g. INBOX) become extremely fragmented. The Windows defragmentation tool shows that they consist of several thousand fragments. Windows may not even be able to defragment them correctly (depending on the partition), and even if it does, it will leave thousands of small fragments of free space on the disc, so that the next big file you copy to that partition will be split in many many fragments again. The reason, of course, is that TB keeps each folder in a file, which gets a little bigger for every new message in the folder. What happens after a while is that TB becomes slow: When I change the folder, I often have to wait some seconds for the message list to appear. Can anything be done about this? Would it be possible, for example, to not enlarge the TBB file for every single new message, but for, say, steps of 100 MB? Once these 100 MB get filled with messages, the file would be enlarged by another 100 MB. This way there would only be one new fragment for every 100 MB, not for every message. -- Best regards, Carsten ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.2.7.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
