This is just a general comment, born from ugly experience, not an
explanation of the problem.
Good stable hardware reduces the chance that a driver or other
incompatibility will cause problems. While there are no guarantees that a
Compaq, or Dell, IBM server will give you better service than a Bob's brand
server, a mix and match assembly can introduce minor glitches that are tough
to track down (odd timing issues between add in board and motherboard,
etc.). A Compaq server with all the original Compaq accessories, network
adapters, etc. stand a better chance of getting drivers that work well
together. I avoid, like the plague, adding utilities and other non standard
equipment. Tracking things down and getting back to a stable environment can
become a nightmare. Lots of airflow and stable power are also worth looking
into as well.
Again this is just a general comment not an explanation of what the problem
might be.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Web Messaging Crash
this does not relate to imail 7 but back on imail 5 we had that same
problem. i put in all the patches etc. i think we even upg to imail6 to try
to fix the program. pretty sure we did. any way
i had another smaller cpu size computer laying there so i slapped
imail on it just to see. imported the registry and for some unexplained
mystery two yrs later that computer has been running supremely. I never did
get the original imail server computer to run right. the smaller cpu
computer is now running imail 7.02h2 on it.
go figure.
