Yes, that is what IT types want. I understand that Thunderbird gives you that. That is not the way most people use an email client. It is not the way I use it for that matter.

If they use Pocomail, I can guarantee you that you would have a new conception of what it means to get support calls. Yes, your support costs should be your largest concern. Ritlabs and other developers should feel free to not consider this when they make decisions. -- Gleason Using 3.99.24 on Windows XP, 5.1, Build 2600.
