- I am having a problem with NeXTMail. My users' directories are
- NFS mounted onto a Personal Iris but the /usr/spool/mail is local.
- When one of my users issues a `Undelete' command from inside of
- NeXTMail, my PI disk fills up AND the load on the PI machine continues to
- grow until there is nothing left to do but pull the plug. In trying to
- determine what the problem is it seems necessary to determine what
- NeXTMail is up to during this `Undelete' operation. Could anyone in
- the know please tell me. I assumed that it would simply make a copy of
- mbox sans any deleted messages but that simply does not seem to be the
- case.
-
- I can provide more info to any who want but understanding the
- problem isn't necessary in order to explain what NeXTMail is
- *supposed* to do with this command.
