Hi, Please rephrase your question. What is your question?? Leif

Hi, Firstly, please let me know whether I know your problem correctly. The Database file size increases fast. Thus, you would like to use a new database file instead of the current one without losing mail. If I understand the question correctly, I suggest that you can use Move Mailbox to move the mailbox to another new database. For your reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821829/en-us http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Exchange_2003_Move_Mailbox_Wizard.html In addition, regarding the database file size increase fast issue, it can be caused by server factors, such as: 1. Mail Loop 2. Corrupted Rule 3. Spam emails 4. Antivirus software scan the database file 5. Client Operation Regarding the corrupted Rule issue, you can increase Diagnostic Logging for the following objects: MSExchangeIS\Public Folders\Rules MSExchangeIS\Mailbox\Rules Monitor the Application log to determine whether a particular rule is triggered repeatedly. Then, disable or remove the rule. Regarding the Spam emails, please check the relay setting on the Exchange Server Regarding the Client Operation, you can use Exmon tool to monitor which User occupied the Exchange Server CPU usage for a long time.
