1. Database Settings

AAMail mail server is based on database. On the menu bar, click the "Settings -> Database settings", and then you will see the current database settings here.

2. Access Database

If you have chosen the Microsoft Access Database, then, on the menu bar, click the "Settings -> Database settings", you will see the Access databases settings here. Because the Access database has many volume limitation problems, we have done some special processings on AAMail. For example, Access database has created individual mail database for every account.

Access database will become unstable if it runs for a long time. Normally, we recommend that you compact the database once a week to ensure that the Access database is running stably. On the menu bar, click the "Tool -> Compact database" (Figure 1-1).

You can modify the SQL Server connection parameters here. After the modification, please restart AAMail mail server (Figure 1-2).
