Thanks for the reply. I am aware of the functions of LDAP as we have it
Implemented on our server. The solution that I was trying to provide was
to replicate a scenario that I found in a local university.
The University had users on both Macs and PCs. The users used clients
called Simeon, and Execmail. I'm told that these users were able to store
personal address books (Not a general LDAP directory) and retrieve them
from any Mac or PC terminal. I was wondering if anything like this was
possible with Imail.
Regards
Roland
