I am not sure of the process of MonHarc <sp?> but if you have an archive
mailbox already couldn't the program grab it when pointed to it as a
user? I believe to get the messages into it you subscibe it to a list
and it pulls from the mailbox. Just a SWAG here but might be worth
looking into

Hey Everyone -
This is a repost of a message sent a few weeks ago. Hoping someone might
have some thoughts.
We have been exploring different applications for a searchable ListServe
archive, and I haven't found one that will meet my main need - to accept the
thousands of messages we already have in our current archive (currently
running on an Exchange server). There are some great solutions out there
that would work for a new setup, but with trying to incorporate our existing
messages is usually the show stopper. I think someone mentioned a while
back that we should just use IMAP, move the messages over to an account on
the Imail server, and then search that "account" as our archive.
My questions are: is this a viable solution? If so, how many messages can
an account hold without bringing down an entire system. At the present I
believe there are about 15,000 messages in the archive (from the past
several years), some with attachments. We have occasional users of the web
interface but most all of them use a mail client to get their messages.
I played around with IMAP and got a test account set up, and was able to
move messages over. However, when I log into the account via the web, I
can't pull up attachments (actually, the attachments are messed up on all of
the accounts if you view via the website). So that worries me a little bit.
The archive will probably be used several times a day, but it's not
something that is consistently hit.
We are on 8.22 (no plans to move for a while), running on a P3 866MHz with
2GB of memory and Windows 2000.
Has anyone else done anything like this? If so, are you available for hire,
either for consultation or programming?
Thanks!
Todd
