I have been using this module successfully on Windows NT but now
moving it to W2K it fails on setting the attributes on the mailbox. Has
anyone even been using this on Windows 2000. For me I'm using a Windows
2000 web server but an Exchange 5.5 mail server.
I ask here because maybe Peter shouldn't even use exchange.pm -
I'm wondering if it's time for me and him to start using OLE?
