Last updated on |

When you get to have several thousand email accounts in a DirectAdmin based server, the loading of the email accounts page may start to slow down. In this time, you have 2 options to speed it up again.

1. Disable quota counting for pop accounts page

To do this, edit the file at the path like below:

/usr/local/DirectAdmin/conf/DirectAdmin.conf

Search for the setting below, or edit the value behind it if it is already in the config file:

count_pop_usage=0

Whereby the number ‘0’ is disabled, the number ‘1’ is enabled.

After editing the config file, restart DirectAdmin

service DirectAdmin restart

Note that when this option enabled, the email account listing would not show the quota for each email accounts.

2. Enable email disk usage cache to speed up the pop accounts page

To implement a pop email disk usage caching option, edit the same file at the same path like below:

/usr/local/DirectAdmin/conf/DirectAdmin.conf

Search for the setting below, or edit the value behind it if it is already in the config file:

pop_disk_usage_cache=1

After editing the config file, restart DirectAdmin

service DirectAdmin restart
