hey mike t, just out of curiosity, is your company 100% migrated to OOo / Thunderbird?
Also, does anyone know of an SME that is? Finally, I know this has been asked before, but what is a good enterprise wide roll out strategy? Shared network directories? Some kind of network app? Or emailing users clickable links that will update their systems? Am trying to figure out how to transfer this discussion to the website. Hmm..
