So, why don't you use a real mail client...?
... because restrictions here are such that they don't mind me
using their pipe for personal things in a limited manner, but
they really hate for people to put any software on their system
(typical windows-using mindset, but let's not get into that :),
and I'm really trying to play by their rules. They have no
real mail client, in fact their installations of lookout(!) are
even more broken than usual.
My requirement for mail clients that would be used here at
work includes most importantly that they be MAPI-enabled
e-mail clients. If you have to ask why, the answer is: our
line of business application is a Windows-only application,
and we find that by sticking exclusively to Windows-based
applications, we achieve a high rate of integration between
all our systems, and more importantly, between all our lusers,
er, users. The shorter version of that ansnwer is: groupware.
I'd be interested in seeing what e-mail clients Dave and
others use *THAT ARE MAPI-ENABLED*. Not a criterium for
most of you perhaps, but it is for me.
