Email/IMAP server slow response and timeoutsWe have recently been experiencing problems with the email server responding slowly and timing out. This is caused by a general increased workload but also by the exceedingly aggressing behaviour of a very small number of Microsoft email clients. These clients account for less then 10% of our users a day. However unless configured correctly the software has the potential to cause a serious disruption of the email service. If you must use Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or Entourage please make the configuration changes shown on http://www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/CCSG/email/Microsoft_clients.html The Computer support Group are also setting up on bringing a new faster email server.
