How to Speed Up Direct Admin Email Accounts List Page

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.


Disable quota counting for pop accounts page

To do this, perform modification at the following directory path:

/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 number ‘0’ is disable, 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.


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 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
