I am evaluating IMail 6.03. I and most of my customers use Eudora, however
I have some on Outlook and Netscape, will let you know if I hear of any
problems.
If not already, try using
user&yourdomain.com as your user id login
Its not very clearly documented but that is the way for Netscape etc users
to login into virtual (multi-homed) IMail setups.
If Win95 users see a different date than Win98 users, please check the
Regional Settings in Win95 Control Panel. They need to be set for a 4 digit
year rather than 2 digit.
- April
