wlm generating multiple 16mb log files storage director

version 8.0.0774. under C:\Documents and Settings\User NameLocal Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta\User Email\
WLMD seams to create lots of unnessasery log files that are all identical and all 16,384 KB big, names included edb.log, edb00001.log, edb00002.log edb0000?.log etc, res1.log, res2.log res?.log etc. It aslo generates edb.chk and also edbtmp.log. I found the total of these files after using it for a week to be over 300 MB which is alot of wasted space. it also generates multiple sqmdata??.sqm files and multiple sqmnoopt??.sqm files which are small ~ 4 KB.
Anyway to stop this from happening and any one else had this problem?
Thanks

Yes, that would be one of the things that beta software does. It would appear

that it is creating these logs for debugging purposes during the beta, and doing it rather inefficiently. -steve -- Stephen Boots MVP MSN.COM sboots@mvps.org

Yeah i know it is a beta but i think inefficiently is a vast understatement. Nevermind, i can just delet them.

Do you think it's any more inefficient than the DBX format in OE 5/6?

say that I'd rather have the log files. :-) That DBX format is bad! -steve -- Stephen Boots MVP MSN.COM sboots@mvps.org
