Thanks a lot, Leena. :) You've actually tickled some suspicions we have also had, that to deliver good Webmail service to our users, we may have to figure out PHP acceleration. I sometimes wish the world wasn't so desperately pushing the one-size- fits-all paradigm of browser-based apps for each and every thing in sight... all this problem with Webmail is primarily due to using a connectionless run-time system for a connection-oriented service (IMAP). Will look into PHP cacheing and other stuff. Shuvam ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
