movemailbox question

Post by roger_efn »

During the move, it shows the progress of how many moved blobs/how many left.

IS a blob essentially an email?
Moving a bunch of mail boxes, I have users with roughly the same usage quota, but the number of blobs varies a bit.

Also, DB items, considerably more DB items than Blobs. Is their a correlation between number of blobs and DB items? 8.8.15

Yes, most of the time a blob is the message file.

The quota and number of blobs do not correlate. You can have one blob that is 10 MB or 10 blobs at 1 MB. Both accounts' usage will be 10 MB but the second account has 10x the number of blobs.

Also, the number of DB items and blob items should be similar but will not be an exact match since we store more than message metadata within the same table.
