You're talking about the extreme - let's not. The very early version of HiveMail has been running here on vBulletin.org for quite a while (at least 3 months), with about 50 active users. Today, the size of the mail database is 8.8MB. Add to that address book, POP3 accounts, message rules, etc. and we'll just round it up to 9MB. That's roughly 200KB per user... in 3 months. Let's multiply that by 20, we'll have 1000 users and 180MB. Another x5, and we got to 5000 users and 1GB. Now, if you have 5000 active users I wouldn't expect you to run on a $5/month shared server with 15 other sites... you'd need something a bit more powerful than that, and usually that comes with lots and lots of space to spare.

Of course, that's without even comparing the program to other solutions out there. Looking at nobody.net you need to pay $60/month for 500 users only, and if you need more? "Contact Us".

I don't know, it makes sense to me... but then again you'd be surprised if it didn't, right? :)

Very;)

Anybody expecting thousands of users must be on a server to cope with that amount, so it will easily fit!:)

Is the newsletter going to be used? I really want to test out this sucker "again"

-Arunan

the stats you're presenting chen are satisfactory to understand what type of clientele you're aiming at.
thanks for taking the time to explain.

@Arunan - Newsletter?

Who said anything about a newsletter?:confused:

Like I've said in the past, running a web-based email service can get server intensive - so don't do it unless you are prepared. :)

Yeh...

I may only allow those who already can use it to do so;)

$180... :(

Too much $ for me :(

But im sure its well worth it. :\

How is the vBulletin integration with this? What are the system requirements?
