62 Chapter 2 Mail Service Maintenance

Specifying the Location for the Mail Database and Mail Store

If you’re starting mail service for the first time and you have no existing mail database,

you can specify where the mail database and message files will be stored. By default,

the mail database location is /var/imap/ and the mail store location is /var/spool/imap/.

Note: Changing the mail store location of an existing mail system doesn’t move the

mail from the old location to the new one.

To specify where mail is stored on the server:

1 If mail service is already running, stop the mail service. See “Starting and Stopping Mail

Service” on page 57 for details.

When mail service starts for the first time, it creates an empty mail store at the default

location. You can ignore this or delete it after you have specified an alternate mail

storage location and restarted mail service.

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

3 Click Settings.

4 Click the Advanced tab.

5 Click Database.

You’ll see the current location of the mail database and the mail store.

6 Click Change next to the Database Location field.

7 In the Database Location field, enter the path of the location where you want the mail

database to be stored.

You can browse for a location by clicking Change next to the location field.

8 In the Mail Store Location field, enter the path of the location where you want the mail

files to be stored.

You can browse for a location by clicking Browse next to the location field.

Creating Additional Mail Store Locations

Mail service can scale well as your storage needs change. You can spread the mailstore

across several disks or filesystems. New partitions can be added to the mailstore at any

time without requiring downtime, or even the users’ knowledge.

To use the new mailstore locations, you’ll have to designate in the user record which

partition has his or her mail store. To do so, enter the mail store path in the user’s mail

settings using Workgroup Manager. See Mac OS X Server User Management for Version

10.4 or Later for more instructions.

The mailstore partitions you add can be additional hard disk partitions or remotely

mounted file systems. For remotely mounted filesystems, NFS isn’t recommended.
