tekiegreg Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 So today, webmail wasn't working for me, submitted a ticket to HawkHost. Me: Help my webmail is slow.... Hawkhost: About how big is your inbox, is it the only email account having problems? Me: Yup the only one, and I lost track at about 5,000 emails Hawkhost: Yeah webmail starts to break at around that much. So, who here is worse at housekeeping their inbox than myself? BTW: I do a pretty good job spam filtering/cleaning so most of that isn't spam (legitimate commercial email and personal stuff more than likely. tuctteeda and uttebyAlbuple 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 If I was to guess I'd say I have over a million emails in my inbox. We however use our own dedicated mail servers and I use IMAP never webmail I'd be wasting my time with that. The problem with webmail programs is they're built in PHP, Perl, Java etc. and just are not going to be fast considering all they do as act as fronts as a regular email client. They are not reading the mail directly they're having to query the imap server just like your email client on your computer would. Also for spam SpamExperts in our cPanel is really effective at clearing out spam as well to keep those inboxes clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlesM Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 If I was to guess I'd say I have over a million emails in my inbox. I feel much better about my in-box e-mail, now. I couldn't imagine what a nightmare that it would be to have over a million e-mails in my in-box. Out of curiosity, what e-mail client software do you use?

Out of curiosity, what e-mail client software do you use?I'm connecting via IMAP and using thunderbird and lots of filters to organize the mail. It becomes less hectic with a lot of filters and folders.What I'm doing won't work on Outlook with IMAP. I'm not sure about exchange though it might work a bit better.
