RE: [IMail Forum] Latest Consensus on 2006

[Kevin Bilbee]

Although Yugo is not longer sold in the US when it was my friend had a 3 cylinder one and he called it "Yugo, you drive, you die" and he had his A to Z list of items he had to repair on the car. So if yo do not know Yugo this should describe it.

Hi,

I also think, that the performance of the WebMail must be increased heavily. I compared it to the older versions of IMail and with SmarterMail. The comparison with SmarterMail is surely fair, since this product uses also .net technology.

The new WebMail is in fact a IMAP Frontend and does not access the mail server natively like SmarterMail or older versions of IMail do. Maybe IMAP slows down the WebMail? To proove that, I will make a test with SquirellMail. SquirellMail is a IMAP WebMail too.

I also made the exepierence, that the new WebMail does not like big inboxes at all. I used an inbox containing about 500 unread messages. The WebMail take so much time, that i had enough time to take an another espresso (A good espresso machine needs about 22 to 24 seconds to fill the cup.) and do some other things. 

My test server is a DL360 (Dual P1000, 2 GB RAM, 15'000 rpm disk's). I expected, that the cpu's needed a lot of time, but the load was on average level.  I think, the WebMail needs some serious code tuning (slow queries, slow loops). 

A friend of mine owns a merak mail server, which i could test with a webmail account. First of all, i was quite suprised about the features they offer and the speed is pretty good.

Coming back to the comparison between lexus and a yugo (didn't know, that americans knows this brand): Yes, the webmail is a kind of a yugo with a lexus interior.

So ipswitch, please pimp my webmail ;-)

Is this the consensus from everyone?  I have it running on a test machine with a Pent 400 and it is slow with that.  But I would guess on a regular server with dual processors it would not be so bad???     Thanks, Grant Griffith Web Application Developer Enhanced Telecommunications Corp.

Since the new web messaging was the sole reason we decided to stay with Imail we are VERY disappointed in its performance. It's basically a Lexus with a Yugo engine. Looks good but slow as molasses.
