I respectfully disagree. Even the IMail Webmail in 8.1 says it autochecks
for new mail every 5 minutes.

No e-mail client should ever be checking for e-mail any more frequently than
every TWENTY minutes.  If you check for e-mail more frequently, it can LOCK
the mail box and the queue on ANY server, IMail, Exchange, or any other
server, and substantially slow the message delivery within the server.

E-Mail is NOT instant messaging.  The standard for e-mail delivery is still
about 3 hours - NOT instant.

Can anyone address why it now takes anywhere from 10-25 minutes to send an
email between 2 Internal Mailboxes in IMail 8.1 when this happened fairly
instantly in 8.05? It also takes 10-20 minutes if you have forwarding set up
in IMail Administrator between the mailboxes. This happens even if it's the
only email in the system, so its not a load issue.

It appears to be a queue issue. As the queue cannot be re-run any faster
than 10 minutes, it now takes a minimum of 10 minutes to send an email to
another person on the system - if that person has their mailbox (such as to
their assistant) it takes an additional 10 minutes for the assistant to get
it - and that is based on Outlook checking for messages just after the queue
runs. If Outlook only runs every 2-5 minutes, then it takes upwards of 30
minutes to send emails internally.

This really is unacceptable.

No problems here. Install was easy and quick.

I had some troubles with the upgrade there were in part as a result of
my own doing.  IN the end the HF2 fixed what I was seeing.  Overall, I
am very pleased with 8.1
