Hi, I'm new to Imail and have a few questions that I hope somebody can answer for me. A couple weeks ago we got a new dual 400 NT server and installed Imail, once I started pointing users to the new server I noticed that the hard drives on that computer were being over worked. After some testing I figured that the Imail POP3 service was causing the excess hard drive usage... If I shut down POP3 service the server is quiet, as soon as I turn it back on the hard drives are on consistently. I think it is the user database that is causing this, everytime a user tries to log on to check their mail is when the hard drives get accessed severely. It seems to me when users get authenticated the hard drives are overworked and I can not figure out what is causing this. Also if I go into user database from the Imail Administration program, everytime I click on a user it takes about 2 or 3 seconds of disk activity before the user info is displayed. I don't think this is normal, a program shouldn't be running this slow but I can't figure out what could be causing this, I even re-installed the software today without any effect. I'm wondering if anyone here has had this problem and knows how to fix it, has some ideas, or let me know if this is normal... I never used this software before so I don't know if this is normal. The box is a Dell 4300 dual 400 with 512 megs of ram with scsi drives. There are about 80 users and the user database is imported from NT. I know that if users are sending large files the hard drive are going to spin but it seems to me that they are spinning way to much for small jobs. Thank you for any information! -Bernard Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
