Hi, I set my email client so that it leaves the messages on the server. Recently, the messages grows up to 1157. Then, no message can be retrieved; POP timeout. Telnetting to the server, issuing "user username" <enter>, "pass thepassword" <enter>, list <enter>, creates "connection timeout". My mail client says: "wrong password" (the password is correct, of course). This is unacceptable, I think. I use a PIII/128MB for the James mail server, and another PIII for the MySQL server. So I believe that CPU power is not the issue (users in both machines are no more than 300, mostly running Squid; which is light in CPU power consumption). I'm wondering whether any of you are also experiencing this. If you are, then I think we need a better implementation of POP protocol in James, or have an implementation of another protocol; would IMAP make it possible? BTW, having the email repositories on databases would make implementation of web-based email clients easier; all you need is to have JDBC connections to the databases and have the content of the repositories displayed on the browser (no need to implement this or that protocols; JDBC and some neat display of messages would be sufficient). And also, implementations of mail filter would be trivial; some select's on the message_name and update's on the repository_name is all you need. A Turbine-based email client (server?) would be nice, I think. Turbine has an implementation of cron. It would fit for running the mail filters. Hmm... I hear a song sung in the background of my head... "Just my imagination... running away..."
