I've got 4 users who all use squirrelmail to read their mail. The machine probably sees 700 messages a day, and has no problems. Scott

So, apt-get install squirrelmail suggests imapproxy. Per imapproxy.org: "imapproxy was written to compensate for webmail clients that are unable to maintain persistent connections to an IMAP server. Most webmail clients need to log in to an IMAP server for nearly every single transaction. This behaviour can cause tragic performance problems on the IMAP server. imapproxy tries to deal with this problem by leaving server connections open for a short time after a webmail client logs out. When the webmail client connects again, imapproxy will determine if there's a cached connection available and reuse it if possible." Have you installed imapproxy? Would I regret it if I skip that package? I'd normally be accessing webmail using Firefox 1.5.x.x or later, IE 6 or later, and possibly (though unlikely) Camino or Safari. -- Rich
