I have been using VM for over ten years, first on a Windows machine in a Windows network environment, and then on Linux and OSX machines in a Windows network environment. It does pretty much everything I need. I use it in conjunction with BBDB for managing contacts (including local group-aliases, which are very handy). I use fetchmail to snarf mail from an Exchange server through IMAP. Then I use postfix as the local machine's mail transfer agent. For outgoing mail, I just define our network's local SMTP with: (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "oursmtp.company.com") (setq smtpmail-smtp-service "smtp") (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq smtpmail-debug-info t) (load-library "smtpmail") (load-library "message") (setq mail-use rfc822 t) And it's (mostly) always worked fine. > More information about how everything can be put together can be found > athttp://people.cis.ksu.edu/~stough/emacs-vm-mac/index.html. > Unfortunately, it takes some work to get everything installed and > configured. Awesome! Thanks, Alley! Fetchmail and postfix are "in the box" with Leopard; with early versions of OSX, I had been depending upon the Fink project, but now, there's no longer a need. But you're right, neither tool is ready out of the box; if I had to rebuild it all from scratch again, it would take some fiddling... 8P -- V. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Carbon Emacs User Group http://groups.google.com/group/carbon-emacs?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
