Does "thread pooling" affect the robustiness of webmail.
Also perhaps a new version could have some parameter to fine tune webmail
according to hardware. Similiar to IIS it could limit incoming requests /
accept maximum message size. My webmail crashed once because some guy was
sending 2 megs files to a list of names.
