TB is a local client and therefore should be used as such. It is
intended to fetch the mail for each user. This does not prevent
several users using the same message base.

I have customers still using v2.12 because it suits their needs well.
If you prefer v3.0.1.33 so be it. For me Voyager is the best thing
that happened since I discovered TB 1.1 in 1998 and my customers
agree. Aren't choices wonderful?
