Subject:        Re: [IMail Forum] 8.1 Upgrade Question

I just last night upgraded from v8.05 to 8.10 and had serious problems 
with performance of Webmail (logins taking about 10 mins) and other 
issues with QueueManager crashing and not restarting as it should.

Didn't like the classic web templates so tried to go back to old yellow 
standard ones and that made things worse.

IMAP4 performance also poor since upgrade. Bit the bullet and dumped all 
but user dirs and restored old version from backup. All OK now.

So would be VERY wary of upgrading.

One last thing. Just to check that it wasn't anything to do with 
existing server, I quickly installed 8.10 on a freshly installed 2003 
server and copied a couple of users files over. It was just as bad and 
that server is a brand new dual Xeon 2GHz with 2Gb RAM. Incidentally a 
new user with no emails/folders logs in to webmail OK. So it would 
appear to be something to do indexing of messages and then production of 
web content that is different and causing performance decrease.


Cheers
