FYI

I read this on the c-client mailing list. 

The 'postman' software is using something like 
the 'imap-proxy-server' (or should that be an 
'imap-cacheing-server'?) idea that has been discussed 
here some time ago.

Is anybody still looking into this?

Hello, Steve!

We are using Postman, developped by us (University of Valencia).

Postman this being used in production from beginning of year 2000 in the
University of Valencia in a server HP-UX with 256 MB of RAM and supporting
peaks of to 160 simultaneous users without producing no remarkable load in
the
server. In that server we are running the apache web daemons, the imap
daemons
and the postman daemons. A previous software, that towards use of another
technology (mod_perl), exhausted the resources of the server with the 60 or
less usuary ones.

See
   
   ftp://ftp.uv.es/pub/unix/postman/postman.html
   
for more details.

Regards,
Agustin
