Re: Unable to compact mailbox file mail.box: 03:F5

Hi,

I also didn't have any problems with corrupting mail.box's the last 4 years ( I'm doing this job for that time ) ...

I will try your suggestion  and  will try it with a manual compaction as Fritz mentioned .

We're currently stopping router and scanmail at 19h and restart it at 08h again ... so the router shouldn't cause this error "normally" temporarily ...
