  The e-e- running mode is one of the interesting physics options at the
International Linear Collider (ILC). The luminosity for e-e- collisions is
reduced by the beam-beam effects. The resulting beamstrahlung energy loss and
beam-beam deflection angles as function of the vertical transverse offset are
different compared to the e+e- collisions. In this paper, the dependence of
these observables with the offset for different beam sizes has been analyzed to
optimize performances for the e-e- mode, taking into account the requirements
of the beam-beam deflection based intra-train feedback system. A first study of
the implications for the final focus and extraction line optics is also
presented for the cases of the 20 mrad and 2 mrad ILC base line crossing angle
geometries.
