Email Protection - Full data disk - how to solve problem?

Hi Joe78 

You may clear older files from var/storage/cores as these files are coredumps of the error UTM encountered in past. Unless you have an active support case investigating something with coredumps, you should be deleting all files and that should free up some space.

Have you used Prefetch mode? The option is under Email Protection > POP3 > Advanced | POP3 Servers and Prefetch Settings and it will then download all the Emails from the POP3 server and stores it on the UTM. So if you want your setup to work like this, I would advise against deleting anything in /var/spool directory.

Note: Please move this post to UTM Firewall thread for better visibility. Or subscribe to that group and I'll move this post there.

Thanks for reply on christmas...

Yes, I used Prefetch mode...

So either I do have enough space for all mails, or I can't use prefetch, right?

I subscribed to the other group as you advised, so please move the post.

Thank you.

Hi Joe78 

You're right. You will need to have enough space for all the mails.

Note: Moved the post to the correct group.

I haven't configured POP3 in the last few years, Joe, so I hope others with more-recent experience will chime in if I've misremembered something.

The SG 125 is not meant to handle the volume of emails that you are prefetching.  Before you configure any other users for prefetch, have the existing users connect so that their emails are downloaded to their devices and deleted from the cache in the UTM.  They will also want to use the 'POP3 Quarantine' tab in the User Portal to delete or release the emails in their quarantine.  Did that help?
