Hi folks,
Actually, I'm evaluating IMail, and like what I see. I do have a couple of
questions, which experience is probably the best answer.
I plan on using IMail to give about 500 students access to e-mail using a
web browser on lab machines (i.e. public). Very few (if any) will be using
POP3. There will be a maximum of 30 to 40 users on at any given moment
(that's all the lab machines there are).
1. How much disk space on the server should I allow for each user?
2. Is there any known anomalies that IMail might have with attachments that
I should be aware of? Most of the lab machines have floppies so students can
save their homework on them, so I expect that attachments will be saved to
floppies as well.
3. The users log into a NT server. I'm planning on setting up IMail on a
dedicated server. I can do this 3 ways. There are a few accounts on NT
(administrator (renamed of course), Guest, and a few others) that won't need
mail accounts. Which is the best solution??
a. IMail on a BDC and use the built-in function of having mail accounts
built from the NT Sam.
b. IMail on a BDC and manually (or addusers) keeping the users up-to-date.
c. IMail on a stand-alone server and manually (or addusers) keeping the
users up to date.
Thanks for your insight.
