I have two installations, one with database and dbmail on 2800MHz P4 Cygwin based, I'm connecting with Thunderbird from remote, and here at home, database on remote host with Slackware on PII 300 Mhz, dbmail-imapd and Mozilla IMAP client on my PC. It is really lot of faster when the database runs on Linux even the box is so much smaller than our server! But at least at the server in our office it should be sufficient power to drive the database and dbmail, but it is always the same behaviour, in runs a while very smooth, then suddenly it seems to hang, I just can wait or close the client, the server is under full load, dbmail-imapd and postgres fighting for CPU time. When I kill the parent dbmail-imapd, the childs are terminated too and in the same moment it is quiet and postgres goes back to sleep. I think it is in imapd, s.th. basically goes wrong here, at least when connecting with Mozzilla or Thunderbird. (RC8 source package). Gerrit -- =^..^=
