Hi guys, I was wondering, what is the norm in keeping mail? I have been running my own email on my server box under my desk for years, and the collection of thousands of mails has become big... Too big for many mail-reader clients to operate at full speed (Mozilla Thunderbird is slow when opening my mailbox, and my webmail application almost crashes when trying). Is it considered normal to keep many-year old mail, or am i expected to delete old mail? I like keeping old messages for the record, and going back now and sorting out and deleting would take a rediculesly long time. Is the IMAP protocol really not designed to be able to handle a few thousand mails? What do you guys do?

I have a "Command Prompt.lnk" in my users accessories folder anyway, and i guess it's created by default for each user on the system. You you could put the del lines in each users logon script. Or else maybe you could remove the links from the hidden "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User" folder. I presume this folder is the skeleton folder for all users logging on the system for the first time.

It's probably because some of the links are located in your user folder %userprofile%
