618174 2007-12-05 11:16:00 is it possible to have a email relay? like a DHCp server relay, an example of what i want to do:

Have a server (already setup, win2k3) and have some kind of program that collects my gmail (pop3) email, downloads it to the local server, and i can then configure MS outlook to get it frm the local network?

Currently i am usin Outlook to go straight to gmail, but my contacts and mail dont follow me as i move from computer to computer, i want to be able to grab my contacts anywhere within the network . maybe this is just too complicated but it would be very useful

This is the fairly standard way to do it in Linux/Unix-type networks . But a Linux/unix-type network has accounts, so your whole home directory (hence contacts, mailbox etc) follows you wherever you login . Dunno how it can be done in a Windows setup .

618175 2007-12-05 11:33:00 It can be done with a Small Business Server 2003 setup, which has Exchange 2003 and whatever PC you log into on the network, you will get your 'My Documents' folder with all your data and your emails, contacts etc will be in Outlook as well.

Of cause that is not free. :p

Gmail now has IMAP functionality, which means your email will follow you where you go.
