The application has no bearing on which network protocol gets used. If
you've set up your workstation to use TCP/IP, that's the protocol used
to connect to the post office. (NetBEUI is NetBIOS over TCP/IP and is
unroutable, IPX/SPX is the Novell equivalent of UDP/TCP).
I use TCP/IP to talk to the postoffice on my LAN.
That said, you may need to bring up the link first to your post office
before you try and send/recieve mail. The 2nd-most optimal solution,
of course, is to have your NT post office on a local machine (the
optimal solution is to install a proper SMTP server (sendmail, smail,
qmail, etc) and do mail through that.
