Mail Root

All mailboxes are stored in a directory structure under the specified folder

Example interface:

Default:./data/mailroot

Autocompaction

You can optionally enable auto-compaction of all mailbox folders in the background. This keeps mailboxes sizes as small as possible by reusing space and defragmenting the files on disk. If you do not use this option you need to periodically STOP THE SERVICE and perform a command line compact using the command line: >hexamailserver.exe -compact

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:on

Autocompaction

You can optionally store a copy of the pre-compacted mailbox when compacting. This is useful if there is a problem with the compacted mailbox folders after compact and can be used to restore the original mailbox folder.

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:on

Compress

By default emailboxes use compression to save storage space and disk access. If you have fast disk access and lots of storage, or do not have a fast processor you can disable compression to improve performance. Changes to this setting will affect all new email, existing email will remain in its (un)compressed state until the mailbox is automatically compacted.

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:on

CompressInboxes

By default email inboxes and drafts forlders do not use compression. This is to make access and modifications to frequently changed data more rapid. If you have fast processor(s) you can also enable compression for inboxes. Access may in fact be faster if disk access on the server is slow and you have a fast processor. Changes to this setting will affect all new email, existing email will remain in its (un)compressed state until the mailbox is automatically compacted.

Example interface:

Options:On/Off

Default:off
