I've just set up a imap server, some of my users are having problems
migrating their data from client pc mailboxes to the IMAP folders.
1. should it take ages, to copy data from client email app(POP3) to
IMAPs folders with the sam client. example .... 10 mail iteams takes
over 5mins and theres less then 1Mb data in total.
If the users are connected with a 28.8 modem then that sounds about right?
What speed is the connection?
2. some users are reporting that when they copy their mail from one
folder (POP3) to another folder (IMAP) it does not copy them all
somewhere along the line it loses the items.
That sounds pretty strange, is the problem widespread or just a few clients.
Are the clients outlook, netscape, eudora, ??? Are the ones having problems
all a particular client?
If the problem is just with Outlook for example you could have them install
netscape, import the old mail into netscape and try the copy from there.
