Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the performance of 2006.2 when used with IMAP and Outlook Express. We've been running a limited test of 2006.2 as a conversion from our old 7.15 server. Most of our clients use Outlook Express configured with IMAP, so that is our main concern. The one thing that I've noticed most is that 2006.2 is really slow to "wake up". That is, if I go to a computer than I haven't used in a while (say, overnight) and then launch OE, I get a long delay (with hourglass) before getting a message that the server can't be reached. Click OK, then refresh, and OE works fine. Or, I can short-cut the entire process by hitting escape (during the hourglass wait), clicking on another folder besides InBox, wait a few seconds, then click back to InBox.
Once you start actively using email, then there is no problem with performance. However, it's that slow start that concerns me. It has to be something about the way the server sets up the connection, and how quickly it responds. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Ben BC Web
