Overview

The Z-Mail Pro Administration application allows you to manage your Z-Mail Pro database.  There are five options available:

•	Merge two mailboxes

•	Compact mailbox

•	Generate mailbox from message files

•	Remove unmatched entries

•	Rebuild folder information


Merge Two Mailboxes

Select this option to merge the messages from any mailbox into the current mailbox.  Messages in the source mailbox remain unchanged.  All messages are copied into the current user's Z-Mail Pro directory, and are added to the current mailbox.  The mailboxes (user's .DAT files) must have the same name.

To use this option do the following:

Select the Merge two mailboxes option and choose the Start button.  The Z-Mail Pro Administration - Merge dialog box appears.  Choose the Dir... button and select the source directory of the Z-Mail Pro database you want to merge into the current mailbox and choose the OK button.


Compact Mailbox

Select this to reduce the Z-Mail Pro database file size by eliminating empty space in the Mailbox that occurs when you have deleted numerous messages.

To use this option:

Select the Compact mailbox option and choose the Start button.  A dialog appears displaying the progress of the action.  The Abort button stops compacting.


Generate Mailbox from Message Files

Select the Generate mailbox from message files to generate or create a new database.

To use this option:

Select the Generate mailbox from message files option and choose the Start button.  An information dialog box appears that explains what will occurs and asks you if you want to continue.  Choose the Yes button.

A dialog appears displaying the progress of the action.  The Abort button stops the generating.


Remove Unmatched Entries

Select the Remove unmatched entries option to remove entries in the Z-Mail Pro database that do not have actual message files associated with them.

To use this option:

Select the Remove unmatched entries option and choose the Start button. A dialog appears displaying the progress of the action.  The Abort button stops removing the entries.


Rebuild Folder Information

Select the Rebuild Administration folder information option to have the Z-Mail Pro Administration rebuild the folder hierarchy from the files and directories on the disk.  Choosing this will automatically be followed by a Generate to rebuild the Z-Mail Pro database.

Note:	Z-Mail Pro Administration will make a best guess at what the folder names should be, based on the names of the directories on the disk.  If desired, you may rename your Z-Mail Pro folders later.  However, this should only be necessary for folder names that could not be used as a DOS directory name.

To use this option:

Select the Build folder information option and choose the Start button.  A prompt appears stating some folders may need to be removed and that the process will take time.  Choose the Yes to continue.

A dialog appears displaying the progress of the action.   You can choose to abort during this time by choosing the Abort button.
