Microsoft Mail 3.2 is essentially a Windows-only (local and remote) strategy. While there is support for other platforms, it's either very poor or requires a second mail system (see 'integration' directly below). The DOS LAN and remote clients for Microsoft Mail for PC Networks are essentially the old Network Courier interface, and have not been updated since 1991. The Macintosh client for Microsoft Mail for PC Networks is TTY-like, scrolling text only, and looks much like the pre-3.x Windows clients. o The integration between Microsoft Mail for PC Networks (originally Network Courier software) and Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks (originally the 'InBox' e-mail package) is poor. They are two separate mail systems, with two separate message stores (Microsoft Mail for PC Networks uses a DOS-based message store, Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks uses a Mac-based message store and 'talks' ONLY via AppleTalk), two separate administrative tools and two separate user databases, connected with a gateway. > -----Original Message----- > From: Felicity Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 22 May 2002 14:58 > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: ? about MS Mail > > > Thanks again John, however MS Mail was first developed for > the Mac in 1987. > > Do you know where Network Courier fit into this equation? > Did MS purchase Network Courier and repackage it as MS Mail > for the Mac, or was this done somewhere later down the line. > > > _________________________________________________________________ > List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm > Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp > To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
