You will need profiles in outlook but if you can access the mail using IMAP,
it will stay on the server.

From what I understand, turnpike can act as an imap or pop server and if
not, there are free or low cost pop and imap servers you can run locally -
they would pull the mail from the isp mailboxes and store it in your network
so the clients don't have to connect to the network.

Hi all

HELP!

I have just installed Outlook 2007 on our network, having decided with
some sadness to ditch our old Turnpike software.

Our system is a simple peer-to-peer network of 10 or so PC's running
Windows XP (32 bit). One of the machines is nominated as the server and
holds the usual data (word docs etc) to which the workstations point. The
email is collected by the Turnpike program on the server from the ISP via
POP3.

With our Turnpike software, you just point the workstations to the
directory on the server that holds all the emails and hey presto you have
email data available on the whole network. Nice and easy.

I cannot seem to replicate this set up under Outlook. It seems like you
have to set up email profiles on each machine and the emails are
collected/delivered from the ISP individually by each machine and stored
locally.

Is there any way round this? I understand that I could resolve it by
installing MS Exchange Server, but this requires 64 bit Windows (?) and we
are quite happy using POP3.

If there are plug-ins commercially available then any recommendations
would be welcome.

Cheers!
