What's an IMAP server? I actually know, but I am an IT person who is currently not working in IT. The level of IT skills for others is very low. No-one else there would know how to manage an IMAP server. It would also require a computer to be an IMAP server. As it stands, we are running OS 9 and use Outlook Express. We only have Office 98. Our POP email server is external to our organisation. As part of the service we get 20 email addresses. My recent personal experience with IMAP using Outlook Express and Entourage was that it didn't live up to my expectations. I reverted back to POP. I was not expecting to resolve our problem. We don't have the resources or the money for it. I was suggesting an enhancement to Entourage for something that is lacking in Entourage, an easy way to archive messages, while still using the same interface, something that I thought others might find useful. -- Matthew Smith -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
