Here we go - from the Win98SE disk\tools\oldwin95\wms-fax.txt "WHAT IS WINDOWS MESSAGING? =========================== Windows Messaging is an update to Exchange that was originally shipped with Windows 95. Like Exchange, Windows Messaging enables the user to send and receive e-mail, faxes, and documents in message format by accessing a Microsoft Mail Postoffice Mailbox Account. Information Services that can be used with Windows Messaging include Microsoft Mail, Internet Mail, Microsoft Fax, and the Microsoft Network. Windows Messaging is a Full MAPI Client.
WHAT IS MICROSOFT MAIL POSTOFFICE? =================================== Microsoft Mail Postoffice was included in Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, OSR2 and OSR2.5. Microsoft Mail Postoffice provides a centralized location for Network Administrators or Small Office Administrators to create and maintain a Workgroup Postoffice. The Administrator would create an account for each user within the Workgroup Postoffice. This account would then provide users the ability to send or receive e-mail to or from other users within the company network.

You are probably right and we probably are using Microsoft Mail. I'm afraid that I am ignorant enough to not know the difference. I was under the impression that this was some sort of version of Exchange 5.0, but I may be wrong. Any idea if this will transfer to Windows 2000 pro? If not, what do you recommend that I look at for upgrading the system? We could all go to external e-mail accounts, but I would prefer to keep our inter-office mail internal if there is a simple way to do it. Again, thanks for your help.
