Ok...now that I have more background...I don't think that multiple email engines will help you in this instance. I don't believe that you can have more than one email engine attached to the same Remedy instance. I have never seen configuration options to say EngineA will use these mailboxes and EngineB will use those...ignore the rest of my rant...I'm not sure it applies to your situation

Let me provide some more background. We have about 150 mailboxes and it will be doubled/tripled in next few months. Till we re-design the system to restrict number of mailboxes, a short-term solution is to have multiple email-engines polling separate incoming mailboxes as right now we see emails sent to POP3 server don't make it to remedy for up to 24+ hours due to extremely high volume. So, for short-term we want multiple email engines polling different set of incoming mailboxes and anticipate that it would buy us some time till we come up with long-term solution (although, doing this will be a manual maintenance effort to say which email-engine will be polling which mailboxes and so forth and so on but that's the risk we are willing to take to buy us some time). With that said, back to your response - I didn't understand what you meant by "it's a PITA to get working because the Email Engine doesn't offer multiple Service names like the Server does...so you must either run some commands that I received off of the list, or manually edit the registry (like I ended up doing)...I've done this in the 6.3 world. Only gotcha that comes to mind is I seem to remember a 'feature' in the 7.x email engine that causes all users to be cached on startup. This could get very expensive, memory wise, if you have lots of users. Oh...and the only reason to do this would be to have them connect to different Remedy servers....a single mail instance can poll multiple incoming mail boxes." Thanks in advance.

Importance: High ** Hello listers, I would really like to know if anyone here has used multiple email-engines to poll mailboxes. Any experiences? I would like to get some feedback around how much is the effort installing another email-engine on a machine with already one (or more) email-engines running? Any issues or does anyone know of any known defects? How is the maintenance effort? Any feedback would be appreciated.
