I purchased iMail expressly to get away from POP3 and use IMAP, and the thought of a big machine brought to its knees processing one IMAP user is not encouraging. As for dealing with storage, Maxtor 160 GB IDE's are $300. Strap six onto a PROMISE IDE RAID card and you've got 800 GB of RAID5 for just over $2000.

I have Imail running on a P4 2.0 with 1GB of RAM and one single IMAP user checking their mail maxes out the CPU. Try and get two concurrent IMAP customers checking mail at the same time and it just won't work. You can't even access the server via POP3 while IMAP is checking. Takes only about 5 seconds for IMAP per customer, but it's an effective DoS if they just wanted to check their mail over and over. POP3 doesn't hardly move the CPU meter. IMAP maxes it out. -Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Frazer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 3:13 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] *Update* to Enforcing Limits for IMAP storage > Wanted to give everyone an update on this situation.. > There is no way to enforce global limits to IMAP storage.
