Greetings,

We are running iMail 6.03 (w/ latest patch) on a dual PIII 550 with 512MB
RAM, Windows NT 4.0 and SP6a. We have a user who checks mail every minute
with a Netscape Communicator 4.5 client. Occasionally, he leaves that client
up and logs in via the web interface to administer his virtual domain. His
index became corrupt and Ipswitch support said to delete the server and
client index files and all will synchronize. That's fine.

But, support can not tell me the root cause of the failure. Has anyone seen
this before, and specifically with Netscape? If so, what is the shortest
auto-check time you have seen work reliably. (support says 5 minutes). My
assumption is that the indices get corrupted because iMail does not lock the
mailbox while it is being used by the other client.

And I have asked the user to login to his mailbox with just one client at a
time; and to have his program check mail only every 5 minutes. He would
prefer to keep it as-is without the error. His reasoning is that our former
server allowed it and he wants it that way. Frankly, I don't understand why
it can't work that way either, but for a "bug" in iMail failing to lock the
box upon the first access???


TIA,

Mike
