I have to disagree with this. In today's world, email is a huge part of conversation within companies. If an email is not received within 15 to 20 minutes of delivery there is a problem IMO. I am of course talking mostly about internal email more than external mail. But there still should not be that big of a delay in external mail either.
We check for new email every 10 minutes and have never had a single problem. We currently have ~ 3000 users.

No e-mail client should ever be checking for e-mail any more frequently than every TWENTY minutes. If you check for e-mail more frequently, it can LOCK the mail box and the queue on ANY server, IMail, Exchange, or any other server, and substantially slow the message delivery within the server. E-Mail is NOT instant messaging. The standard for e-mail delivery is still about 3 hours - NOT instant.

Can anyone address why it now takes anywhere from 10-25 minutes to send an email between 2 Internal Mailboxes in IMail 8.1 when this happened fairly instantly in 8.05? It also takes 10-20 minutes if you have forwarding set up in IMail Administrator between the mailboxes. This happens even if it's the only email in the system, so its not a load issue. It appears to be a queue issue. As the queue cannot be re-run any faster than 10 minutes, it now takes a minimum of 10 minutes to send an email to another person on the system - if that person has their mailbox (such as to their assistant) it takes an additional 10 minutes for the assistant to get it - and that is based on Outlook checking for messages just after the queue runs. If Outlook only runs every 2-5 minutes, then it takes upwards of 30 minutes to send emails internally. This really is unacceptable. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bridges, Samantha Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 11:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Any positive experience with v8.1?
