Deleting a user’s mail file

The deletemail-file setting determines how a user’s mailfile is handled when the user’s account is deleted. When the value is:

  • no – the mailfile is not deleted when the account is deleted.

  • adminp – (default) the mailfile deletion request is queued in the Domino administrative process. The Domino administrator must manually approve the deletion request before the mailfile is deleted.

  • force – the mailfile is deleted immediately by the agent.

In order to give the psadmin user permission to open a user’s mailfile, and delete it, you must set the proper mail file ACL settings.
