Speed - The web mail is so slow! My users are accustomed to a quick click
email system. Now they think the page is dead because there >is no action,
processing note or even an hour glass to let them know the server is
working.
The new webmail is an IMAP client and when users log in for the first time
it's going to take some extra processing to build the .xml index files for
the mailboxes. After these are built the speed should better. We have seen
some issues where IIS configuration problems caused the webmail to run
slowly.
Resource Hog - I have notices that the process PO3d32.exe and SMTPd32.exe
trade off in utilizing up to 98% of my Imail dedicated 2.8 >Ghz Processor
with 1 GB RAM. I never even got close to this with the previous version.
I can under stand the requirement for increased >resources, but this jump
seems to be a bit much for changes that seem to amount to not much more
than aesthetic.
POP was not changed in this release and SMTP is essentially the same (except
for the dictionary attack settings). This indicates that you could have
some other problem. It could be an flawed install or crossed domains in the
registry.
Contacts Gone - We need a very easy fix to bring back the contacts from the
previous version. If I was a programmer I would write my >own email ap - I
need a simple tool that will remedy this problem.
From a command prompt in the imail registry run wgscvt.exe. This will
import the contacts from the old web messaging to the new. Note there is a
bug that users who have a reply-to different from their account name will
not see their contacts.
Some of the other issues sound like you could have a flawed install (or
crossed domain keys in the registry). Have you talked to tech support? In
these cases we would like to get copies of the mailboxes so we can try to
duplicate the errors.
