Sorry, do you mean how many clients will have an active connection open?  We
have about 100 users and of those perhaps 20 will have a desktop client
connected via idle so their connections are open constantly; then another 20
or so will use such clients on a more limited basis.  I guess on top of that
we have circa 30 people with frequent or constant access on mobile devices.

 

Does dbmail allow on reporting the concurrent connections?

We have MySQL5.5 on the server "to be" (currently mysql slave and also
accepting some imap connections which go back to the production server over
network mysql connection) which is meant to be replacing the production
server but we still haven't gotten round to it.  We'll have to update 5.1 to
5.5 when the production becomes a slave but I'm very hesitant of doing it
before incase anything goes wrong!

We do offer squirrel/roundcube access but it's a limited number of users who
access this at the same time (I don't recall more than 5 at once).
