You've found a solution (which I've filed away for consideration). The good and bad news is that the mail program which comes with Vista will have a short lifespan--there is already a beta of "Microsoft Live Mail" which is the intended replacement for both the mail program in Vista and for Outlook Express. Rather nicer than the warmed over Outlook Express (fortunately fixed with regard to TLS) that comes with Vista. It works for me, but I'm only using it on the little-used Vista machine, and not for one of our accounts. (I should fix that last--although I think I exercised it with our servers briefly early on.) I won't suggest you suggest it to your boss, but you might want to kick the tires for yourself. Last I heard, we should be only a month or two from the final version. (A replacement for Outlook Express won't help us for a decade or so--our support folks had an encounter with OE 4 earlier this week.) --John -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
