| 340087 | 2005-03-31 23:17:00 | I am looking for an email client for use on a LAN, that will download email messages from our MDaemon email server and then allow simultaneous access to the same messages from two different workstations. I know that something like MS Exchange could handle this, but this is way outside of our budget. I have tried Pegasus (crashed repeatedly), MailCOPA (far too slow and clunky) and I am know trying - with little success - to get the TheBat! running in multi-user mode. Does anyone else have experience in doing something like this, and if so, what did you end up using? |

| 340088 | 2005-04-01 04:42:00 | Er, I may be on the wrong track but if you want more than one person to be able to view the email, why not just use an IMAP account? | pctek (84) | ||
| 340089 | 2005-04-01 09:25:00 | Thanks for the suggestion, pctek . I'm not that familar with IMAP, so I'm unsure exactly what it can do . What we hope to achieve is to have one operator printing out incoming messages, marking them as read, and then sorting them into category folders on her workstation . A second operator on another workstation would type replies, using the sorted messages for reference when required, and occasionally searching for sent or received messages of up to three months old . Would IMAP handle this? |

| 340090 | 2005-04-01 09:48:00 | Hmm. All IMAP (as opposed to POP3) does is have the mail stay on the server and therefore more than one person can download them. With POP3 once its downloaded to a particular PC, thats it, its gone off the server. Seems a bit clunky, one person prints and sorts, another replies? But someone else here may have a btter solution for you, its not really my area. |
