Performance from Outlook to Zimbra

[ttown]

Are there any settings that are throttling bandwidth for users who are pushing email from outlook to Zimbra? Pulling data from Zimbra to outlook seems to happen quickly, but for users who may be importing older files into their new Outlook profile, it takes forever to push the data to the Zimbra server.

Any one have any experience with this?

Where are the server and client?
Are they on the same LAN?

I've seen PST being imported at more than 10 Mbps on a LAN...

Are the user importing the PST only importing the PST or doing something else (such as downloading through ZCO at the same time)?

Same Gb network, though some are external (3Mb/s, but not coming anywhere near that).

This really seems to only be when sending imported data to Zimbra, and the speed is horrendous...like 160k/s sustained....maybe peaking about 1.2mb/s and it doesn't seem to matter if one person is doing it or many, they all get about the same speeds...

This is the case for everyone?

I re-read your initial post, you say "pushing email from outlook to Zimbra"...

How are you doing this?
Aren't you using the PST import tool?

The way we decided to have users move from sendmail/imap to zimbra was to install the Outlook connector, and then use file -> import and export utility to import old .pst files into their new zimbra profile and let Outlook push data back to the server.

These are all engineer types that manage their own email anyway, so this way they have complete control of their mailboxes and the process of moving to Zimbra.
