Custom path for user repository
User's Repository is the location where emails for every user are stored in Xeams. By default, this location is$INSTALL_DIR\UserRepository. As users receive more emails to
their account, you may need additional disk space.
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 exists 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:
user.repository.folder=F:/XeamsUserRepository
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

I would like to add that server.properties file does not exist by default. You have to create it. Do not confuse with service.properties.
