Hi Rich.
Thanks for the replies. It would seem from our event logs that I am
definitely getting un-interrupted passes each day then. Fortunately somewhat
drastic pruning of saved email together with an online defrag has released
2Gb of space. Hopefully this will give me time to run the additional checks
you suggest.
In the meantime I will also load up another Server/Exchange and migrate
mailboxes over to it. This should free up further space until I can get to
the bottom of the problem.
