sukh Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Ok just to further update this thread with a bit of information. It seems that even after purging 200 mailboxes the mail database size didnt get any smaller. From research I have to do an offline defrag now to sort out the mail database size. Deleting mailboxes wont reduce the physcial edb size, you will get whitespace in the edb which will be used as and when needed. Either do a defrag or create a new database and move the users across and then delete the old database. Doing this involves less downtime as with a defrag you have to tale the DB offline. Also, if you;re usiing a DAG, then you will have to reseed again.
