Hi,
I'm a newbie iMail administrator. Ever since I installed iMail (a month
ago) I have been amazed (and disappointed) how slow it is to receive POP
mail from the server. Bandwidth isn't the issue - we have plenty available
on the server and client end.
Here is the server specs:
NT 4.0 sp6
Celeron 566 Mhz Processor
128MB RAM
swap file size:128Mb
About 50 users, not heavy users either.
Webmail is installed and running but even when I stop that service
performance is pretty dismal.
Other software installed:
I'm also running IIS 4 on the same box and also Media House Statistics
Server (which also has its own web server).
IIS is running fine - serving out pages like there's no tomorrow! But the
performance of iMail sucks!
I think there could be a couple of problems here - someone else wrote that
their swap file was something like 2 GB - should I be increasing the size
of mine?
Some other posts mentioned having another web server (apart from web
messaging) on the same server doesn't work too well. I have 2 other web
servers (IIS and the stats server). Can't afford another server at the
moment...
I've applied all the available patches:
iMail install disk --> 6.05
impatch606.exe
im606svs.exe
imsrvpatch.exe
Your opinions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Daniel
