+It does. We actually just rolled it out, and people have begun using it.
+We're still working out a few kinks that are probably related to our
+environment, such as the spellchecker and imp not communicating properly
+(ispell works fine, and is the latest version; not sure what's up here).
+
+Overall, we've had a lot of positive comments. The biggest complaints have
+been related to its speed. There have also been a significant number of
+requests for Eudora addressbook import options, which right now has no
+straightforward solution (they have to be imported to outlook, then
+imported from there to Imp).
+
+The speed issue isn't too surprising. We have it running on four Compaq
+tru64 boxes, which are also used for imap, pop, and shell logins for
+thousands of users. If you'd like to know more about our environment, let
+me know.
+
+I'd imagine you would like to be able to mention this on your website,
+which I admit would be pretty cool. Unfortunately, I'm not PR-authorized,
+and cannot give you permission to mention this on your website, but I am
+working closely with somebody who does have this authority, and while we
+haven't discussed it specifically, I think we're on the same level in that
+we are waiting until the major problems have been addressed. If he's not
+thinking the same thoughts, I will mention to him that he should let you
+guys make a plug for us on your site, once it's clear that we're sticking
+with Imp (which right now is pretty certain, but not 100% certain).

+That's good to know, thanks!

+Hi,
+
+We are a National Government Agency of Portugal and we are using Horde 2.0,
+Imp 3.0 and Turba 1.0.
+We have around 1.000 mailbox's, 8 Mail Servers (Exchange) and 1 Webmail
+Server (Apache/SSL).
+
+And you can add us to the list.

+Headers: Show All Headers | Show Mailing List Information
+
+Speaking from experience combining Sun hardware/Cluster/and Imp/Horde:
+I would first separate out your web server(s) from your mail and DB
+server(s) especially if you plan on using a secure web server and/or
+IMAPS. For this web server, use your best hardware, you may experience
+high loads like we did using SSL, so you may also consider purchasing
+crypto-cards if you run into this problem. The next (big) step would be
+to run a scalable apache server (via Sun Cluster 3.0). This starts
+getting pretty expensive, cost of licensing Sun Cluster 3.0 software,
+the cost of agents, the cost of the approved architecture, and the cost
+of support. Plus you definitely want to get some training if you're
+going to run a Sun Cluster. (personally I wouldn't recommend this route
+unless you really need HA and/or scalability.) I think option 2 from
+Eric's message down below might be the sensible route in your situation.
+
+
+
+
+Background:
+We have been running Imp/Horde here at the University of Colorado since
+the Summer of 2000 exclusively on Sun hardware. We initially opened it
+up to existing students as an alternative option to pine/elm or
+imaping/popping. The existing students had the choice to migrate over
+from an older mail server to this WebMail system, and all new incoming
+students were giving an account to this newer system. That first Fall
+semester we started with 5000 user accounts, and today there are 40k. We
+started off with (1)E3500 with 6 336MHz processors 2Gb of memory which
+served as the mail (IMAP only) and mysql backend. The Front-end web
+server was also a E3500 with 6 400MHz processors and 3 Gb of memory.
+When we hit about 30k user accounts we started experiencing high load on
+both servers. Granted, we do add some load with some in-house tweeks to
+the IMP/Horde software for quota and affiliation check, as well as doing
+secure IMAPS and SSL. We ended up with a soon to be 6 node V480 Sun
+Cluster 3.0 system that is running scalable apache serving the front-end
+(running IMP/Horde). For the backend, I ended up writing an agent for
+both mysql and uw-imap and this is in a 2 node cluster running (2) V880
+(one with 6 ultra-sparc-III 750MHz chips and the other with 8, one has
+12 GB and the other has 16GB of memory). It's a screaming system now. I
+have had my hands in this since the beginning, so if you want some more
+info about what we are doing here and what we have learned, feel free to
+contact me.
