Hey John, If you are speaking of using a desktop operating system for your IMail box, I HIGHLY recommend against it. If you are using a desktop OS now, that is probably why your performance might be degrading.
You could actually take your existing box, upgrade the RAM (and hard drive if needed), upgrade the OS to a server OS (2000 or 2003) and see a significant improvement in performance. The difference between workstation and server OS makes a BIG difference.

We get about 500K messages a month, so a solid desktop will do us. (Looking at Dell 3.2GHz, 1GB) Question: Since I only run Imail and Declude on the box, are there any issues that make XP or Win2000 a better operating system? (We have campus licenses for both, so cost and availability are not problems.)
