HostMySite.com is converting over from IpSwitch Imail Server to SmarterTools SmarterMail as of TOMORROW. I'm the email administrator for HMS, and let me tell you I will breath a sigh of relief when we get this up and running and all of our 30 or so Imail servers migrated over. We've done some prelim testing and found SmarterMail to be far better than Imail in the performance department. Two big considerations:
1. Imail's webmail client vs SmarterMail webmail It's like comparing the fake rock you gave your first wife to the Hope Diamond. 2. Imail stores the email for each folder in a single text-format .mbx file. This can result in some HUGE files that degrade server performance considerably (thing fragmentation). Smartermail on the other hand stores emails as they are meant to be - a separate file for each. 3. Did I mention the web interface? Here's a sample for you: http://www.hostmysite.com/smartermaildemo E-mail Address: demo@ hostmysite.com Password: demo If you have any other questions about SmarterMail, let me know I'll be happy to clarify. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - CFDynamics http://www.cfdynamics.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187688 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
