In that case things can be more peacefull. I once had the mail in a NFS storage and was told to move to local storage because of speed issues. Really don't know if the .cache and .log should be put in a fast local storage to speed up things. On 25/03/2022 16:40, doug wrote: Thank you João!

Good to know.  Many thanks for your comments. Always appreciate when someone points out risks. As to my original question, are any others locating LISTINDEX files in memory successfully with unique UIDs?. Or perhaps it only works out of the box with a virtual mail user? On 3/25/2022 12:57 PM
