No, I'm not.  But I take your point.

More complexity.  The *default* is to share the mail directory.  Another
feather in the cap of those who say TB! is not for the faint hearted.

Yes, I know that!  I try not to play around with this stuff too much.
Where in the help text does it describe multi-user use?  (In a Windows
sense.)

Perhaps TB! is not to blame but that old standby 'documentation'.  Given
there are no instructions on how to access from multiple Windows
accounts, and the default advice on TBUDL is 'copy the registry
entries', then the default configuration leads one to believe that
multi-user capability is not an issue.  In truth it is.

I decided to add a tagline I have been using at work of late.  I think
it applies here.
