Duhhh! I think I misread this before my previous post. What does the NT task
manager say about total ram in use? I ran Imail on a Pentium Pro 200 with
128 megs of ram until I got to about 700 or 800 customers. Then I started
getting calls about "The POP3 server could not be found" errors and Web
Messaging was crashing on a regular basis. Doubling the memory fixed the
problem for a long time. Web Messaging has crashed probably 4 times since
then. (2.5 years ago) It now runs on a dual processor PII 350 machine with
512 megs of ram and about 5000 mail accounts. Never breaks a sweat.
I think I could probably put 3 or 4 times that on this box with no problem.
