SUMMARY

The postoffice storage status displays file space in bytes. These byte totals are not for the bytes occupied by the file; they are for the blocks allocated for the file.

The totals listed in the Mail Administrator program (when you select Local-Admin, Storage, Status) are generated in the following manner:
  • The byte total for File Space Used for Mailbags is the sum of the blocks used by the .MBG and .KEY files.
  • The total for Number of Mail Messages is the number of files with .MAI and .ATT extensions.
  • The byte total for File Space Used for Mail Messages is the sum of the blocks used by the .MAI and .ATT files.
