Changing the location of email repository files


As the number of emails grow on your server, you might need to add additional hard drive to your machine and change the directory where Good, Junk and PossibleJunk messages are stored.

The following section lays down the steps required to move this repository:

  • Create a file called server.properties in the $XEAMSINSTALLDIR/config folder. It is quite possible that this file already exist on your system.
  • Open the file in any text editor, such as Notepad on Windows or VI on Linux/UNIX.
  • Add the following lines in the file:

    deletedEmailsDir=c:/AFolderOfYourChoice/JunkEmails
    possibleEmailsDir=c:/AFolderOfYourChoice/PossibleJunk
    goodEmailsDir=c:/AFolderOfYourChoice/GoodEmails

  • VERY IMPORTANT: If you are running Xeams on Windows, you should use a slash (/) rather than a back-slash (\) to separate the folders. This is contrary to the convention in Windows but was done by design to stay consistent across other operating systems.
  • Move the contents of older folders to the new location. Failure to move the files will result in "File Not Found" errors.
  • Restart the server
