also, if you apply the IE theme, your users will think they are using IE anyway..
its sorta cool, I can't use it though cos I have mozilla 1.2b and they are not compatable (yet) rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jim Dawson Sent: Thursday, 21 November 2002 2:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] remote access to mail for m$ users??? Have you looked at Mozilla Mail? I admit earlier versions left something to be desired but in the latest versions it seems to work pretty good. On top of that Mozilla seems to have fewer security issues than IE (If your users seem reluctant to use Mozilla rather than IE just show them how to block pop-up windows and how to use tabs...) and when and if they ever switch to a non-Microsoft OS they will already be familliar with the browser and mail applications. -----Original Message----- From: Kenn Murrah <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 13:49:39 -0800 (PST) Subject: [newbie] remote access to mail for m$ users??? Okay, gang ... I've won most of the battles here ... Thanks in no small part to the help I've received from this list, I have a Postfix/IMAP mail server up and running and all is well with the world ... The rub comes in trying to set up my Windows computers to access their mail ... Outlook and Outlook Express are out (per an edict from The Head Boss), and no one really likes using Eudora ... and I'm having trouble finding much of anything else. So I was thinking ... Would it be possible (or even practical) for Windows users to access my server via cygwin/XFree86, so that they could use a linux mail client instead? (I'm rather partial toward Evolution, due to its simple interface that would hopefully keep the troops from screaming every 3 minutes for help.) And for security's sake, would it be possible to mirror my EngardeLinux email onto my Mandrake box, so that I wouldn't have to run X on my EngardeLinux but rather on a box with no exposure to the Internet? I've already set up cygwin/XFree86 on my test box and tested its connectivity to the box I hope to use as a mirror, so if you folks tell me i'm not entirely off my rocker --- I need you to point me in the right direction to learn about how to "mirror" (if that's the correct word here) my EngardeLinux mail to the intermediate box ... Of course, I'm a "true" newbie here, so feel free to tell me i'm nuts and suggest a better way to accomplish my goals. thanks, kenn __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
