As I said, Microsoft BOUGHT the company that created what was to become MS Mail. I don't know who the company was. The roots of Microsoft Mail postoffice server, were wrapped around a client running against a shared file directory mail repository.
Again, as I said, it didn't matter what the postoffice side of the service sat on, just as long as the client could make a persistent connection to the file structure. Up until 5 years ago, Lucent Technologies was running their MS-Mail service on Unix servers with WfWg clients. Whether it was originally designed for MAC's, trash-80's, or two monkeys with a wax tablet I don't know, could care less. The box that contained MS Mail Postoffice Server had three sets of disks for clients, DOS, Macintosh, and Windows. It was 15 years ago. Who cares?

To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth. --Bruce Lee -----Original Message----- From: Felicity Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 9:58 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: ? about MS Mail Thanks again John, however MS Mail was first developed for the Mac in 1987. Do you know where Network Courier fit into this equation? Did MS purchase Network Courier and repackage it as MS Mail for the Mac, or was this done somewhere later down the line. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
