| The empty folders will go away if the server was stopped and restarted.
Also the server will do some "housekeeping" as you mentioned. It
has lots of data in memory and it periodically clears and reloads
it so it doesn't get stale. In those cases empty folders might
go away.
The ALL-IN-1 engineers should be able to give an official answer
in their notes conference.

| Hi Bob,
This is strictly a TeamLinks function. ALL-IN-1 does not support
empty folders. The folder name must be cached in TeamLinks on the
PC somewhere. Could TeamLinks engineering have asked ALL-IN-1
engineering to make some special commannds to allow empty folders,
temporarily?

| Dave,
TL doesn't have any cache for folders. It does maintain a list
of folders that are currently displayed in the UI, but that's it.
TL can ask A1 to create a folder. I think this call goes all
the way to the FC Server. The server then has an empty folder in
memory, but it's not in the FC database because it doesn't allow
empty folders.
What I think happens is if a folder stays empty for too long in
the server then it will be purged away internally. I don't know
exactly when this occurs. It might happen if nothing is put into
the folder before the FC session is terminated by TeamLinks.
HTH,
Bob

| Hi,
The folder cache is held by the File Cabinet Server (FCS). When you
create an empty folder in TeamLinks (or the MAPI Driver for ALL-IN-1)
the FCS adds the folder to its cache.
The folder will be removed from cache if the FCS is stopped &
restarted, or if folder (still empty) falls out of the bottom of the
cache, to use technical jargon ;^). The latter happens when the folder
was the least recent to be accessed, and another folder is to be placed
in the cache.
Cheers
Stuart
