That's a whole different issue! We run a simple POP3 server here, and we set up quasi-roaming profiles so that the post office file follows you whichever machine you log in to. It's important to have your PST on a network drive anyway, just for backup purposes. But that does start to get complicated. So basically:
1. Users have an H: drive, which is their personal space on a server. 2. H: drive is mapped automatically wherever the user may log on. 3. Users have a post office file (pst) in H:\mail. 4. You set up Outlook to point to that PST file. Full roaming profiles might be the easiest way to do this, but we had reasons not to go that direction. But I have worked in such environments. That way, all their settings (including outlook) come along with them. Is this making it better or worse? ;) Josh -----Original Message----- From: Kodjo Ackah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 11:45 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: free mail servers please - like Pegasus and Mercury You are right! But my users want their profile to appear on each machine they log on to. Thus all their emails, sent items, etc... Do you see what I mean?

If you've got email addresses from the ISP, you don't need a server (like exchange), only the client. And if you have outlook 2000, you're all set. The ISP would be the one to manage these accounts if they're through them. Most ISPs have a cute web-interface for management of these, but all you need to do on the client end is set outlook up to point to their POP3 and SMTP servers, and you're all set. If you do need a server, and are willing (or your client is) to spend a little time setting things up, there are a number of UNIX/LINUX based mail servers (I'm partial to exim) that are free, and will run on minimal hardware. If you need an NT/2k solution, that's a different question. But from your message below, it doesn't sound like you need server software at all.

This is new to me sorry for the mistake! I just built him a website got him 40 emails with his ISP. Now we need to manage these accounts. So what do you suggest? I am quite prepared to explain further if it is necessary.

At the moment Pegasus and Mercury are the only ones I know.
