Hi,
Have you noticed James' memory usage? Recently I had about 700 email
sitting on my mailbox, then I ran top. I saw that the swap space usage
increased to about 70MB. I'm sure that the raise was due to the mail
retrieval because this is in the morning and nobody uses the server but
me. I'm wondering, if a single person with hundreds of email needs that
amount, how much more memory would be needed for more than one person?
The mail server will be used by about 80 persons. If it would mean that
the swap space needed to serve 80 people is 80x70MB, I think it's pretty
hefty. My concern is the overall performance of the server; it is said
that the amount of swap space should be about twice the memory, and
80x70MB would be a lot more than 2x128MB I already have now.
I noticed also that the POP protocol handshake was pretty long (more
than 30 seconds). I don't know whether it was due to the amount of the
email that resides on the mailbox; it could be. As I understand it, POP
would send all the available message numbers before retrieval. I think
it would be nicer if James implements IMAP; so that not all of the
messages have to be sent to the mail client, only the headers.

I think Emacs extension would do the job nicely; you know, a keystroke,
you'd see the XML tags, another keystroke, you'd see the attributes (and
some space to put the values).
