Here's something interesting, we were on the line with ipswitch about the problems we have with imail 8.xx crashing, webmail, etc, and the fact that other users are reporting it as well on this very mailing list--and they didn't know about it. I guess they don't have anyone actively monitoring this list.
The support person then told us that we need to setup our server so that the OS is on one physical drive, and the IMail software and data are on another physical drive. He pointed it to possibly being a page file performance problem. We then told him that our memory usage is very low, not even consuming the physical ram, and the pagefile is very low, so that answer didn't seem appropriate. After asking pointed questions on why he believes it's a page file problem, he finally said that he doesn't really know if that's the issue, or if we change the server if his suggestion will do anything. We told him to go spend an hour talking with his higher ups and come back with 3 possible solutions that are reasonable. In the mean time, here's the question for everyone that's reporting what OS and Imail version they are using with what hardware: How do you have your software setup? OS and Imail on separate physical drives? Same? Thanks.

How bad is it? It seems I have seen nothing on this list but complaints about version 8. I have kept my 7.15 Version even though I HAVE the upgrade. It seems just to have too many issues. I only have about 1,000 users and 8 domains (only one of which is used heavily) but 80% of those people are using the Webmail interface. Is ANYONE running 8 with webmail that works? I was about to build a new machine with 2003 server, but have just read and e-mail that claims IMAIL has a problem using the registry in 2003. I've also heard that Killer Webmail doesn't work correctly either, but a new version was pending, can't wait t see them screw that one up. I'm also seriously pissed that there is no patch for the overflow problem for 7.15 yet. So I can upgrade to something that doesn't work or wait till I get hacked. Thank you very much IPSWITCH for such wonderful alternatives.
