That's
very strange, because I have the exact opposite problem. Webmail is fine,
but any user that tries to connect via IMAP has very slow performance. It
was so bad that we never got out of the testing phase for IMAP and just disabled
the service. Of course, this was with 7.1x, so I don't know if it is any
better now on 8.
We do
have many people on webmail with over 500MB of mailbox space and multiple
folders. They have reported no problems. My Imail
install and spool are on separate drives.

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.

verdict? How bad is it?

Here's something interesting,
we were on the line with ipswitch about the
problems we have with imail
8.xx crashing, webmail, etc, and the fact that
other users are
reporting it as well on this very mailing list--and they
didn't know
about it. 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.
