I have a domain with about 50 mailboxes, server is located here in AUS but most of the users are on a LAN is SEAsia location. They were using POP (with Thunderbird), I suggested then can use IMAP instead, so they did.
now they are asking;
"Looks like Imap is adding a lot to our internet bandwidth"
I guess they have some bandwidth limitation on their link
I think I can understand that IMAP would increase bandwidth requirement, didn't expect it to cause 'problems'
is there any optimization or changes I can make to reduce that ? the b/w limitation are at the client LAN link
any other suggestions ?
thanks, V
Your users IMAP-clients can (hopefully) be configured to automatically cache emails once they were downloaded. If that is configured, there should be no difference in bandwidth usage between POP and IMAP.
