all our Imail servers are Win2K. We have ~1,000 domains on each server with at least 5
users on each domain.
Sometimes we see performance problems when users do heavy things but overall Imail
runs well (when there are performance problems, we see high CPU utilization)

Subject: [IMail Forum] Imail does not work with win2k
OK, I've read all the posts related to this problems and have come to the
conclusion that Imail simply is not compatible with WIN2K.
I migrated from a single NT4 with a P3 and an Intel Pro 100 (which was
extremely fast and reliable for all my clients)
to an Intel server with dual Xeons and dual gigabit NICs and WIN2k.
Performance was lousy, customers are unhappy, etc...
To resolve (after reading all the posts)
1) I disable the internal NICs at the bios level, installed the Intel pro
100 card I was using under NT.
***Performance still was very poor.
2) Removed the Intel PRO 100 card and replaced it with a brand new 3COM
3c905ctx card.
***Performance still was very poor.
Everything else works on the server very fast and reliably. The only thing
that does not is IMAIL!!
I've ruled out the network cards - I feel it can only be one thing... IMAIL
does not work with win2k.
Try the web interface on an account that has 10 messages, no problem. Try
it on an account that has a 100 or more and you are left hanging for tens of
seconds. No CPU maxing out, no memory consumption problems, I know it is
not the disk system (SCSI RAID1) because every other application zips right
along reading the disk without delays.\
What else can I try???
