I realize at the physical level with IM it uses a sequence of messages which hare relayed server to server. Just as with VoIP, an audio stream is packaged as a sequence of IP packets. However there is no concept of long term persistence of information outside of the IM session (I am ignoring auditing). I don’t have an IM inbox.
The closest I can get is if I persist my IM history I would invoke the policy but it's not intuitive I would spawn more im sessions based on that as I would forward or reply all with email. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Saint-Andre [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 1:57 PM To: Leif Johansson Cc: Trevor Freeman; [email protected] Subject: Re: [plasma] why not web portal mail?
