Okay,  here's  the  very  simplest  of ideas (easiest to set up, least
intrusive, runs off the CD, et al.): IMAIL.EXE.

Bundle  IMAIL.EXE,  IMAILSEC.DLL,  and  IMDLL32.DLL  on  your  disc, a
directory structure like so:

Mandatory:

<CD drive letter>:\MAIL\
<CD drive letter>:\MAIL\USERS\
<CD drive letter>:\MAIL\USERS\<company name>
<CD drive letter>:\MAIL\USERS\<company name>\<mailboxname1>.MBX
<CD drive letter>:\MAIL\USERS\<company name>\<mailboxname1>.IDX
...
<CD drive letter>:\MAIL\USERS\<company name>\<mailboxnamen>.MBX
<CD drive letter>:\MAIL\USERS\<company name>\<mailboxnamen>.MBX
<CD drive letter>:\MAIL\CFG <CD drive letter>:\MAIL\CFG\
<CD drive letter>:\MAIL\CFG <CD drive letter>:\MAIL\CFG\users.SYS

You  then  have  a tiiiiny little .REG "installer" file that just adds
the following value:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Global]
"TopDir"="<CD drive letter>:\\MAIL"

Users  then  start  up  IMAIL  using  their  company name and can view
messages  and  mailboxes.  If  your Q is whether this is covered under
your  license:  I'm  sure it used to be, but you could ask Bob or John
for  their current take (or I have implicitly by posting this). You'll
also want to test out attachment handling.
