Windows Server 2003 Crashes When Deleting E-mails

[rayzoredge 2]

This is going to be a toughie to ask, because I don't have all the details here.Our company runs Windows Server 2003. The gist is that our IT guy tells us not to delete hundreds of e-mails at a time to prevent crashing the server. Our e-mails are stored server-side and are not synchronized to our machines... and we don't have any PSTs locally stored on our client machines. We have computers up at the office that are tied into the local LAN, and we have clients that connect via VPN at the warehouse over 50 miles from this site. The IT guy recommends that we delete a few e-mails each day as opposed to emptying our entire Deleted Items folder every now and then.Can anyone give me an idea as to why this happens? I'm not asking for a solution, because I know I'm being rather vague with the situation here.

What E-Mail program are you using Razor? It might be also that your servers CPU usage is too high when you process with the deletion of e-mails on the server. It might be that your Deleted Items folder is corrupted.Either rename or delete the "Deleted Items.dbx" file and start up Outlook Express again. (That's if your using Outlook). If your situation still is not fixed, just post with a reply. -Sky
