Re: [IMail Forum] Version 8.XX verdict? How bad is it?

[David Gregg]

But do you have clients that keep a large number of folders with hundreds/thousands of messages in several of those folders?   The same accounts, accessed via IMAP have no performance issues.   Move all of the folders out except the tiny ones and webmail screams as expected.  Add back in some of the larger folders (i.e. Sent Items, ClientA, ClientB, ImailForum, etc..) and you are back to a crawl.

I guess they don't have anyone actively monitoring this list. The support person then told us that we need to setup our server so that the OS is on one physical drive, and the IMail software and data are on another physical drive. He pointed it to possibly being a page file performance problem. We then told him that our memory usage is very low, not even consuming the physical ram, and the pagefile is very low, so that answer didn't seem appropriate. After asking pointed questions on why he believes it's a page file problem, he finally said that he doesn't really know if that's the issue, or if we change the server if his suggestion will do anything. We told him to go spend an hour talking with his higher ups and come back with 3 possible solutions that are reasonable. In the mean time, here's the question for everyone that's reporting what OS and Imail version they are using with what hardware: How do you have your software setup? OS and Imail on separate physical drives? Same? W2K/SP4 Server, P4 2.4 GHz, 512 MB, dual 40 gig (software) mirrored drives, in two partitions. OS & pagefile on C:, IMail & Data on D:. IMail 8.03 with KWM and Declude virus/junkmail, we have none of the issues or problems being reported here.
