Hi Bill:
Thanks for responding. The optimizer is a good suggestion which should help. But maybe I didn't make myself clear. SquirrelMail runs just fine and is snappy from WITHIN our network but is very slow only when using a browser from OUTSIDE of our network. It is running on a very fast test server with plenty of memory, fast SCSI drives and only a few mail accounts. There is no encryption. The network has plenty of spare capacity and bandwidth to the internet and is otherwise very fast.
I guess I'm wondering if everyone is happy with squirrelmail's performance for use as a remote webmail system or whether they see it as slow also. If the list says SM should be quick when used remotely then we probably screwed up the install or have too many plug-ins and we'll set it up again. It just seems as if there's a lot of back-and-forth communications between the browser and squirrelmail before a page is loaded or refreshed.
Well, if it's snappy WITHIN your network, then stop troubleshooting the server. It's a NETWORK problem.
Regards,
Bill
