Abstract

Techniques for protecting mailboxes in computer-implemented conferencing systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes caching availability data representing availability information of meeting participants in a mailbox corresponding to a meeting organizer. The method also includes monitoring a mailbox size of the mailbox corresponding to the meeting organizer and determining whether the monitored mailbox size exceeds a preset threshold. The method further includes in response to determining that the monitored mailbox size exceeds the preset threshold, ceasing to cache additional availability data representing new availability information of the meeting participants received at the mailbox in order to prevent performance degradation of accessing the mailbox by the meeting organizer via the computer network.
