Hi Charles, Josh, et al, Firstly, this is getting off topic a little, so don't read on unless you're interested in how Samba might be used to make email usage easier in a home environment with multiple computers.

Something I hadn't really thought of is that my wife is likely (at some point) to be logged onto two computers at once, and have outlook running on both of them. I assume this is a guarenteed road to disaster and I should be ruling out sharing the .PST files based on this. Thankfully, I don't have to deal with Outlook any more, and all email
is served via IMAP...
Ok - really off topic now, what clients are you finding handing IMAP the best? My wife uses IMAP, and I suppose if I were to setup LDAP then I could use that for her contacts (which are the main problem atm). Feel free to reply off-list if you think its more appropriate as I realise this question has absolutely nothing to do with Samba. cheers, dim -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
