60 Chapter 2 Mail Service Maintenance

Working With the Mail Store and Database

The mail database keeps track of messages for all mail service users. Mail service stores

messages in separate files. You can do the following with the mail database and files:

• View and Repair the Mail Store Database.

• Repair User Mail Stores.

• Convert the mail database from an earlier version of Mac OS X Server.

• Specify the location where the mail database and files are stored.

• Backup and restore the mail store.

All these tasks are described in this section.

Viewing the Location for the Mail Database and Mail Store

You can view the location of the mailstore and database, as well as the total size of the

mailstore. You may need to keep track of the current size of the mail store to better

plan mail server resources.

You do not change the location of the mail database or mailstore here. See “Specifying

the Location for the Mail Database and Mail Store” on page 62 if you want to change

their locations.

To view the location of the mail store and mail database:

1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computers & Services pane.

2 Click Maintenance.

3 Select the Database tab.

Repairing the Mail Database

The mail service reads from its mailbox list database each time it tries to deliver a

message to a user’s inbox. Sometimes the mail server’s mailbox list database can

become corrupted. When mail isn’t making it the correct user, or messages aren’t being

sent properly, the mail database may be corrupted and need to be reconstructed.

Reconstructing a database can be done while the mail server is running. However, it

would be best to block incoming connections before recontructing, to make sure that

incoming mail is processed according to the fresh database. For instructions on

blocking incoming connections, see “Blocking Inbound Mail Connections” on page 58.

To repair a corrupted mail server database:

1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computers & Services pane.

2 Click Maintenance.

3 Select the Database tab.

4 Click Repair.
