First off, are you using IMAP? I second Stephen's recommendation to use it as your users can use any old IMAP-capable reader. Now as to not having to have a user profile on each machine, you can set it up by specifying a network location for your profile, but you have to set it up the first time you start Thunderbird on a new computer on the network. I believe roaming profiles is in the works for Mozilla, so maybe shortly you'll be able to do it conveniently. You might find some help in the mozillazine forums... (don't know if the mozilla forum you refer to is Usenet or online) Todd
