Post Offices: Mailbox Statistics

Mailbox Statistics collects and displays statistics about the post office, such as the number of messages and appointments in the post office and the average number per user. You can collect statistics for all users and resources in a post office, or for individual users and resources.

GroupWise Objects
Select Post Offices or Users/Resources, then select the post office, user, or resource for which you want to perform maintenance. If the post office, user, or resource you want does not appear in the GroupWise Objects list, click Close. Select the post office, user, or resource in the ConsoleOne® browser window, then click Tools > GroupWise Utilities > Mailbox/Library Maintenance.

Object Type
Allows you to select the objects you want to maintain. You can run the Mailbox Statistics action on a post office or for a specific user or resource. If you select a post office, all users and resources in the post office are checked, although you can use the Exclude tab to exclude specific users and resources in a post office.

Tab Options
The Databases, Logging, Results, Misc, and Exclude tabs let you specify database types and logging options.

Databases
Select the type of database that you want to run Mailbox/Library Maintenance options against. You can choose either a user or a message database.

User
Each user on a post office has a user database (userxxx.db where xxx is the user's file ID) located in the ofuser directory. The user database stores the user's setup information, personal groups, rules, and other information specific to the user. It also contains references to the user's messages in the message databases.
Message
Messages in a post office are stored in the message databases (msgnn.db) in the ofmsg directory.

Logging
To log information to a file, enter a filename. By default, the file is created in the po\wpcsout\ofs directory, where po is the post office directory.

Log File
Enter a new name for the log file, or accept the default name.
Verbose Logging
Produces maximum detail; however, this option creates very large log files and slows execution.

Results
Sends the results to the user defined as the GroupWise® domain administrator. Select Individual Users to send each user the results that pertain to his or her GroupWise user account. The CC area is a comma-delimited field used to list additional users who will receive the report. The Message button displays a text area where you can send a message.

Misc
Support options are typically obtained from Novell® Support representatives when you need assistance resolving specific database problems. Some information about commonly used options is available in the Support Knowledgebase. Make sure that you clearly understand what the Support options do before you use them.

Exclude
Lists any individuals you want to exclude from the Mailbox/Library Maintenance tasks.

Run
Executes the GroupWise Mailbox/Library Maintenance options you have selected.

Retrieve
Use Retrieve to browse to and select an options file. The default file name is gwckrun.opt.

Save
Saves the currently selected options. By default, the options file is saved to the domain\wptools directory, where domain is the domain directory to which you are currently connected.
