Hello,

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions anyone would have with the
following...

I have 2 servers (both Dell PE2650s, 2GB RAM, Dual Xeon) running RHEL 3
ES  (with latest updates), and the latest Red Hat supplied Squirrelmail
(squirrelmail-1.4.3-0.e3.1) and Courier IMAP (courier-imap-3.0.4).
Apache is standard RH shipped config (httpd-2.0.46-32.ent.3) and normal
accompanying PHP (php-4.3.2-11.1.ent).

I have the maildir for each user in /home/user, which is common to both
servers (shared by NFS from a NetApp filer). The front end is looked
after by a Foundry ServerIron.

There is one particular account on the system which we need to be used
by about 20 people at once. This account would normally have 5,000 to
8,000 (small) mails in the Inbox, which the 20 concurrent operators work
their way through.

This is absolutely killing the system, sucking it almost dry on
resources, but not completely, as other single user accounts are quite
responsive. But to open the shared account is taking about a minute, as
is any subsequent action within that account. HTTPD and IMAP are using
all the RAM they can get. 

I am slow to implement an IMAP proxy, as this is a shared account I
don't know what nasties it may cause. So asides from that, can anyone
suggest any way of making this more usable?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Ronan
