Hello Nunno, NL> 1) IMAP : don't fork. With 6 process of dbmail i can serve 6 imap server. NL> the 7'th user can't use imap server ????
If you've configured for 6 processes, that's how many you'll get, and each process can handle one user. If you need 40 simultaneous users, you need to configure for 40 IMAP processes. This isn't as much of a problem with POP3, because sessions are short. I hit it a couple of times a week, though, since The Bat! will try to download ALL configured accounts simultaneously; my personal workstation can generate over 30 POP3 connections all by itself! NL> 2) POP3 : Outlook express for mac os/x don't delete message from server, NL> then when i recheck the mail i re-download all message from server, every NL> times.... I've 40 user that now use imap or netscape pop3 client. This is a problem with Outlook Express - it will ONLY delete messages if it retrieves ALL of them. You probably have a message that OE can not download for some reason, so it aborts the connect. Other POP3 clients will delete messages as they retrieve them, but OE reads everything, then deletes everything. I suggest turning on logging in Outlook Express, and see what error(s) it is encountering. -- Jeff Brenton President, Engineered Software Products, Inc http://espi.com Questionable web page: http://dididahdahdidit.com Liberalism grants you the freedom to advocate any idea*. * Please see http://www.dididahdahdidit.com/except.php for a current list of exceptions
