Trouble is if we have two users that delete 10 emails (move them to trash), the cpu on the imail server goes up to 100%. It is a dual 800 Pentium with SCSI drives.
When we do the same on a slower machine with imail web mail the machine is hardly not used. So what I am saying it is not a performance issue on the asp-server/com-side. I think Imail is not optimized to handle imap fast enough. But I might be wrong. -drasko ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sanford Whiteman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Drasko Markovic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 7:29 AM Subject: Re[4]: [IMail Forum] Imail API from VB > Drasko, > > >It is to slooooooow.
