Just a little more information here... When we were testing our migration on a testbed AD domain, I also dit the IMail migration. I forgot I still had that IMail setup running. So I thought I'd try that one and see how it did. It is a Dell Optiplex GX110 desktop PC with 256MB RAM. Here's the results:
IMAP download of 1600 headers (my Imail list folder ;-)) (using OE6): Live NT4 BDC Imail server: 20 seconds New 2000/AD DC Imail server: 2 minutes, 31 seconds Test 2000/AD DC Imail server: 20 seconds Logging into web mail (same mailboxes duplicated on all three servers): Live NT4 BDC Imail server: 3 seconds New 2000/AD DC Imail server: 1 minute, 34 seconds Test 2000/AD DC Imail server: 13 seconds So...this must prove that 2000/AD *does* work (at least on the test AD domain). But for some reason, it's slow as heck on the fastest machine. Network load is trivial, hardware is all good, and the server doesn't have any errors in the IMail logs or event log. Any ideas? --Todd. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Tolmachoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "'Todd Ryan'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 10:41 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] IMail SLOW after moving to 2000/AD server > >We have a small NT/2000 network (3 DCs and about 200 NT4 clients) and > run > >IMail 7.13 on an NT4 BDC using the NT user database. > > I am going to guess here is that you are trying to use the NT user > database in the Imail settings on the 2000 AD server.
