Adam- Don't get me wrong here - I have been using TB in exactly this situation for a few years now and it works great. Provides local interoffice email as well as the client/server functionality I need. I *am* making the case for being able to serverize (er...I don't think that's a word)some of TB's functionality.
The problem with Mercury is that it's strictly a server. I need to pick up mail from multiple accounts with multiple ISPs and keep it in a central place where the workstations can get to it. That's an MUA function and Mercury won't do that. The only alternative I know of to The Bat running in server mode is Microsoft Exchange Server, and I always warn clients that it's clumsy and expensive and really requires a full-time system admin to run BackOffice and it really should be on its own machine. -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.60h on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
