UnknownMailboxAction
By default Hexamail only accepts emails to the configured mailboxes, aliases, routes and groups. However in some cases an email may be rerouted by a configured route or group and result in an email being readdressed to a nonexistent mailbox. In these cases you can select what to do with the undeliverable emails.

Compact
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
bool
On/Off, True/False, Yes/No, 1/0
on
Compact=on
CompactBackup
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.
bool
On/Off, True/False, Yes/No, 1/0
on
CompactBackup=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.
bool
On/Off, True/False, Yes/No, 1/0
on
Compress=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.
bool
On/Off, True/False, Yes/No, 1/0

CompressInboxes=off
