Actually Outlook 2003 does work with Crossover and is supported by Codeweavers. I use it everyday both on my SLED SP1 desktop and my OpenSUSE 10.3 laptop to connect to our Exchange server. Crossover even supports Outlook's RPC over HTTPS connection mode. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
