I agree ... my corporate execs now think email should be there in less than 5 minutes or something is wrong. This thinking by not be right, but with our system running smoothly for the last few years they are not usually wrong about the mail delivery.

Definitely...try telling business customers that they have to wait three hours for an urgent email/attachment....won't fly. In our experience, business customers are often sending an email and calling within 5 minutes asking if you've read it yet. The standard these days seems to be moving from 10 minutes down to 5. I fully expect it to be 1-2 minutes in a couple of years....many of our customers are already there.

I respectfully disagree. Even the IMail Webmail in 8.1 says it autochecks for new mail every 5 minutes. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bruce Barnes Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 12:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Any positive experience with v8.1? 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. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bridges, Samantha Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 11:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Any positive experience with v8.1?
