What do you mean by an IMAP email account with shared access? We already have the choir's Google group but some people in the choir are quite lacking in IT skills and/or are running IE5 (that's why our .Mac group wouldn't work for them!) and keeping saying that they can't login/enter the password/load the page etc. so I really want something very, very simple. Dropbox looked as though it would just magically make all the files appear in a folder on their own Mac or PC and I thought - surely they can manage that. It seems as though the solution is not so simple...
