Mac Srv: Deleting Messages Not Work Properly Under Low Memory (71257)

This article was previously published under Q71257

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Mail, if a server is running under low memory conditions, deleting messages may not work properly.

Normally, the number of messages in the Mailbox folder is reduced by the number of messages deleted and these messages are moved to the Wastebasket folder.

However, under low memory conditions, if the number of messages in the Wastebasket folder updates, and the Wastebasket folder contains the deleted messages, the Mailbox folder still retains the original number of messages.

This problem occurs only with the Mailbox folder, and the messages will not be deleted until the Current Server Memory Allocation option is increased in the Server Settings dialog box (on the Mail menu).
