+ | Because the files are now of very limited use, we do not recommend enabling these options, unless our Support team have specifically told you to do so. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When these settings are enabled, VPOP3 will rename certain redundant files, instead of deleting them, so they can be inspected afterwards. | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are three checkboxes: | ||
+ | * **Keep Temporary Files** (Rename files to D*.DAT instead of deleting them) | ||
+ | * **Automatically delete Temporary Files after** [-] **days** - //sets a maximum time for retaining old files, to limit the storage of old data// | ||
+ | * **Archive Error Files** - //retain files that may contain important diagnostic information, | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are two buttons, which will remove all retained temporary and error files: | ||
+ | * **Delete All Temporary Files Now** | ||
+ | * **Delete All Archive Files Now** | ||

====Log File Sizes==== | ====Log File Sizes==== | ||
+ | The **Log File Sizes** tab allows you to control the maximum size of various types of log file, and how long the files are kept. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===How long to keep OLD log files=== | ||
+ | * **Keep** [-] **old log files** - //The number of **.lbk** files to keep for each type of log - this is the default setting, and usually requires less disk space, but on a busy server, some log files will only cover a few seconds before filling up// | ||
+ | * **Keep old log files for** [-] **days** - //The length of time to keep old log files - this can result in lots of files being stored, but should ensure you have time to inspect an issue, before the logs are overwritten// | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===OLD Log file disk usage=== | ||
+ | * **Use no more than** [-] **MB for old log files (*.LBK)** - //This setting limits the amount of disk space taken up by old log files// | ||
+ | * **Delete old log files (*.LBK) if less than** [-] **MB free disk space** - //This setting prevents VPOP3 from completely filling up a disk with old log files. When this threshold is reached, VPOP3 will begin removing old log files, to free up more disk space// | ||

+ | **// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Maximum file sizes=== | ||
