~mdx and ~idx files

[jzumsteg]

Pocomail PE (3.4)
When I open a mailbox in Pocomail, it creates a .~mdx and .~idx file in the /mail directory, with the same file name as the opened mailbox. These files are duplicates of the .mdx and .idx files of the mailbox. They do not get deleted and so my /mail directory takes much more diskspace than it needs to. Is there a way to stop Pocomail from creating these backup files, or a way to have Pocomail erase them on exit?

Hi John,

Is there a way to stop Pocomail from creating these backup files, or a way to have Pocomail erase them on exit?

Have a look here, although it's NOT recommended to uncheck 'Retain backup mailbox copy
when compressing' found under Program Options > General Options.

You could delete those, but they will be recreated when that option is checked.
