Defragging of mail servers is important

As IT staff, we are used to having to diagnose difficult technical problems that could have multiple causes and possibly multiple solutions.  One problem that seems to come up pretty often is a mail server that refuses to do any work but still delivers mail.  The symptoms include unusable server tasks and extremely slow directory displays, but mail is still being delivered to end users.

It it is a Windows server my first level advice is to defrag the server.  This task really does need to be performed once in a while as the fragmentation of the file system can impact server performance.
