Well, I don't see a problem. :-) You can use Batpost, or Mercury/32, or any other mail server software that supports accessing the mailboxes via IMAP. >> TB in client/server mode or any other local mail server does not >> exactly offer the full range of features of an Exchange server, and >> probably does not aim at the same businesses... > True, but the features it *does* have are perfect for a small business > groupware situation, which is how we've used it for years. Mind you, but MS Exchange does exactly that, too. Not exactly a topic for TBTech, but you should really re-consider your opinion about the product. I'm not an advocate of Exchange mainly because the client's mailer part is so uncomfy, but the server product itself is not bad (and not very expensive either when you look at the Small Business Server 2003 suite). -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) About 1978, IBM put out a poster touting the virtues of VM. On this poster was the text: "If it's there and you can see it - it's real. If it's not there and you can see it - it's virtual. If it's there and you can't see it - it's transparent. If it's not there and you can't see it - you erased it!" ________________________________________________________ http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
