We currently run a mail server on an Alpha 2100, soon to be upgraded to
an Alpha 8200. We have about 35,000 accounts. We currently only
allow POP access, but are looking at allowing IMAP access also.
Is there a clear "best" IMAP server which runs on the Alpha?
If not, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the various
IMAP servers?
What resources will we need to support 40,000 users? (memory,
disk, cpu, ...). How much disk do most users use?
We will probably offer both POP and IMAP. Is this reasonable?
Can you switch back and forth easily? If the mail box format
is different, is it reasonable to set up a way for users to
switch back and forth? E.g. there could be a Web interface
they need to use to switch before reading their mail.
I will summarize.
