Mail box size display - v6

Post by Brett Rowbotham »

In version 6 the size of the individual mail boxes in the Admin application now displays with decimal places. Given that there is no consistency in the number of decimal places displayed, large mail boxes can look smaller than small mail boxes at first glance and you really need to read the numbers to get a sense of which is actually the larger.

How do I either go back to the pre-6 display of mail box sizes or specify a fixed number of decimal places to be displayed ?

Cheers,
Brett

Hi Brett,
Yes there was a change made in this to make the display across all features be in KB rather in the mix of Bytes and KB. In the ME Admin MMC the developer forgot to round the figure down to the nearest KB at the time of conversion.

The change to fix this is already done and will be in the next minor release of the product.

I have installed 6.01 which, according to the release notes, has an update for the rounded display of mail box sizes but can see no difference.

Hi, Yes sorry it looks like the change did not make it into the kit this time around even though it was listed.

If it is really annoying you then you could change the setting to list mailbox sizes to pre-calculated in the ME Admin MMC->Messaging Manager Properties->Administration TAB

That works in so far as the mail box size is shown correctly but then the mail box count is lost. Can't seem to win here !
