What if my house burned down and I must start from scratch? Mention how to continue if those files are lost.
I assume if one really wanted to get rid of them, a safe way would be 0. Disconnect the upstream mail server from the internet so no new mail is coming in. 1. get all your mail upstream -> downsteam. Now all is deleted from upstream. 2. Now delete the oldmail files. 3. Now reconnect the server. >>>>> "CC" == Charles Cazabon <charl...@pyropus.ca> writes: CC> In short: no, you can never safely trim them.
