Dear Experts, we have several Exchange 2016 servers (VMs) in Vsphere 6.5 environment, but one SAN storage is running out of space.

How can I check whether if we can delete some space in Exchange Database? Due to company policy, we have to keep disabled mailuser for a year; but in urgent they can be deleted.

But I'm not sure to check the space which was taken by those disabled accounts. Can  you please help? many thanks!

hmailserver_log.txtI've been sending logs and reports from 3 sites at the rate of 20 per site per day.  It has always worked flawlessly - for years.
Suddenly, the emails don't get through from any of the 3 sites.
This happened for a few days about a year ago and then it fixed itself.  So, I didn't get any insight from that.

Here is the path:
Device or program sends an email. addressed to an outside address, via SMTP / local workstation LAN address where hmailserver is running (as a relay only).
hmailserver forwards the emails to fred@r........k.com at our external ISP mail system.
The ISP mail systems forwards the mail to the addressee at a domain / mail server that I "own".
The domain mail server delivers the mail to a POP account on one of my external workstations.
Like this
email to xyz@abc.com sent to server at [local IP addess]
hmailserver running at [local IP address] forwards mail via me@isp.com.
ISP send mail to xyz@abc.com
I get POP mailfor xyz@abc.com in my office.

I have attached a log from the hmailserver which you my well be able to interpret better than I.

In order to fix the disruption, it would be good to know where it's faiing…..

My brother-in-law has forwarded an email conversation to me that was initiated by a request for the payment of an invoice that did not exist. The spam email appears to have come from his email address and was sent to people in his address book. I was wondering if someone could help me to recognise whether the spam email is a spoof or whether someone or something has managed to hack into the email account. I have no real experience of reading email headers so please be gentle.
Thank you in advance.

I set a new IMAP configuration through Outlook 2013 for one of my clients. He originally had a POP3 setup.

My client stated he was wasting allot of time updating his desktop Outlook after he made changes (read, delete, send, etc.) on his iphone, hence the move to IMAP.  

The transition was not easy! He had massive custom folders (including sub folders) under his inbox containing client emails over the years. He is basically keeping a history via his outlook. I ran into a ton of problems attempting to restore a PST backup to an OST IMAP account - too long to explain. At a certain point I was moving one folder at a time/counting emails. I finally got to the finish line. All the folders/emails were synced to the online email server.  As I'm about to report the great news, my client tells me he opened a suspicious word document which turned out to contain a virus.

So...I had to buy new drives , and perform a full restore of  recent backed up images. I bring the system back on line, it performs an outlook sync and proceeds to freeze up the on-line email server web account (purchased through a 3rd party vendor). I am now unable to access any folders, or emails either through the web interface (to a 3rd party email server) or through Outlook. I called up the 3rd party, who stated they will refresh their server. I await the results.

In hind sight, I feel like I should have kept those custom folders out of the sync process. At this point, it feels like a total mess.

Dear Experts

We have hosted CRM application  on-premises which is web-based and every user has email settings to be configured, the email server is on internet and also other integration like SMS(sms service provider is on external network) and third party applications, all these were perfectly working until the recent changes at the gateway level and internal IT policy,  I suggested them may be the crm servers are not allowed to talk to the external network of email server and sms service providers,.

Hi,  Iam creating workflows in Jira and I want as port of the flow to send an Email to the operation team once any change has been planned. But I want it to use various field and free text boxes to guide the user in creating the email.

So my idea is that when the use hits "ready to implement) a form pops up with various fields pre filled such as requestor name and date / time of change) and other boxes free texdt or drop down. then once thes user fills in the form and clicks submit Jira created the email and send it to a pre defiend email.

Is this possible to create email body on the fly based on a pop up form?

Thank you

Hi,
I can send out message via Telnet fine like
but why I encounter problem in outlook below
Why? What other Email client can be used instead of Outlook?

Comcast (Xfinity) is recommending that users move to IMAP for email & I am wondering if there are any downsides to this.
My initial concern is that there will be a ton of duplicates in mailbox at the start, or is that not so?
From what I gather, they have a 10 GB mailbox limit - when it gets near full, would I be able to archive mail to a pst (or any other option)?
Would it be best to start with a new profile?
What about getting everything currently in my pst file into the IMAP folder - would I just open pst file & copy into IMAP folders?
What about phones, ipads, etc - how long till all of that synchs up?
About to do this for a neurotic friend & want to be prepared...
