I must also admit I can't say that. I configured all client to get mail every 5 minutes. and mine is configured for every minutes...
We don't have problem with mail queue.
But I know where not a big load for a mail server not much than 400 accounts and 70 mailing lists.
But I admit you have a point, mail is not instant messaging. But it was designed at start for low connection, even not permanent connection. For not much users, and small servers... (thinking of arpa net or darpa)
But now we have all permanent connection, super mega fast speed and monstruous crunching machine.. (even if we run windows...)
Jim Bruner a �crit :
Myself I disagree as well.....every 20 minutes huh that's funny....show me clients that adhere to that:)

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

I'm contemplating upgrading from 8.05 to 8.1hf2 this weekend.
I don't use LDAP (previous versions seemed "broken", so we use something else)
I do have approximately 100 users, and all use IMAP to access their mail. A very few (<10) occasionally use WebMail
We process approximately 1500 messages a day
We use Declude Junkmail and Antivirus
Has anyone have a positive experience upgrading to 8.1 in this kind of
environment?
