imap

[Robert Ezekiel]

Hello All,

I have win2k SBS server providing email for about 20 users. Their internet
connection, to the office where the exchange server lives, is 512k
guaranteed up and down I believe. The clients that have desktops are set up
as exchnage clients via Outlook 2k and XP. The laptop users are set up as
imap clients via outlook because they will be using a dial up connection
most of the time on the road or away from the office.

My problem starts when an imap client's mail box gets over 100mb and then
they start to get time out issues even if they have a high speed connection
at the time. If they delete some mail to get under 100mb then they do not
have a problem. Is this a limitation of the imap protocol or do I have the
client configured wrong?

Thanks,

Robert
