I got rid of FAST and now have no Caching program. Everything runs
slower but it has now run without trashing the mailbox for a whole
five login sessions. That's lonmger than before.
And Windows applications run much faster with no caching
All the corruption I was gettign could be explained by a caching program
that writes into bits of memory it shouldn't
