SUMMARY
Of the factors which affect performance in Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, hard disk performance is the most important. Both seek time and throughput of the disk will affect Mail server performance. Virtually every workstation request requires the Mail server to access the hard disk on the server.



MORE INFORMATION
Also a large disk cache setting may affect server performance causing the "Looking for Mail Server ... Give Up" dialog to appear on the workstations attached to the Mail server. Microsoft Mail version 3.1 ignores caching; therefore, it is not affected by any cache settings.
