I was at a client's site yesterday and we were discussing the costs and merits of upgrading their servers. After already receiving the green light to proceed an idea hit me. 90% of the upgrade was due to Exchange (long story), so why not just use The Bat! instead? I told the client to wait a day

Hello Michael, I'm familiar with Pegasus, but I really like TB and would like to use it as part of the solutions. Thank you for the suggestion though. You don't need Pegasus. You can have a very nice setup with Mercury/32 as a server (it's free, BTW) and The Bat! as e-mail clients. This is

Thanks to everyone for your feedback. It's been very helpful. I'm actually shying away from having a mail server on the server. Everything that they do is POP3 based and they don't have the typical corporate mentality regarding e-mail. I'm thinking that simpler is better, having been the
