IMAP Server struggling

chandu — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 11:32:06 GMT

Hi Guys,
I have just been on SquirrelMail and found the IMAP server really struggling and frequently timing out. Is there any work done on this server?
Thought I pass this on to you all.
Regards,
Chandu.

There's a fair few of our mail collection servers struggling at the moment which I'm guessing is related. We've a couple of engineers over at one of our data centres busy repatching servers to spread the switch load.
Edit: removed link to a permissions-based forum.

As per my post here, can you keep an eye on things folks and report back if you think the platform's still struggling or starts struggling again?
Thanks.

@ Bob Pullen,
It appears that IMAP & Squirrel holding up well. I say it appears because recently I had frequent line drops and hence my BB speed has dropped quite a bit.
On top of this, BT Open Reach Engineers do NOT turn up for the arranged appointments. So, all this does not help to evaluate how well the IMAP is behaving.
Many regards,
Chandu.
