Re: [IMail Forum] Capturing outgoing and incoming emails forone domain

[NetQuick Mail Administration]

Strange you should mention that, I just spent a couple hours sorting out a
dozen Email accounts and holding the customers hand while he put them on
each of his employee's machines as well as setting up all of them on his
personal machine.  All leave a copy of the messages on the server for 5 days
and on his it is set to delete messages from the server when they are
deleted from "Deleted Items".

Yes this was a lawyer.  Seems sort of anal retentive but hey he's paying for
it.  Next he wants a tech to come to his location and show his staff how to
use Outlook and Outlook Express.  I think I will be sick that day.
