My organization (government agency) still uses NT 4 servers and
probably will for some time to come.

If it works for them, let them continue to use it. Just because
something is archaic and unsupported is not a reason to automatically
upgrade.

I don't think that's a reasonable analogy. MS Mail was cruddy when it *was*
supported....and I suspect there are reasons that a gov't agency might not
upgrade (scope of project, and red tape) that likely don't apply to a small
business, even one on a limited budget. I also imagine that a government
agency has a teensy bit more skilled tech/engineering support available to
it on a fulltime basis, than does a mom & pop operation.

And no, I don't think SBS will work
for you, Milly. ;-)

I know that Outlook 2003 does not work with Microsoft Mail. Just
wondering if anyone knows of a workaround or third party program
that would allow Outlook 2003 to work with Mail? I have a customer
with one user in their office using Outlook 2003 and all the others
still using Outlook 2000. They are also using Microsoft Mail for
inte-office e-mail and would
like, if possible, for the upgraded user to still use Microsoft Mail
as well.
Thanks.

In addition to Milly's reply, I don't know what your line of business
is, but if it's at all in the IT way, note that you might do this
customer a great service if you were to gently suggest that they stop
using archaic, unsupported technology for something as important as
e-mail. If they are a small shop, Small Business Server 2003 might be
a very good fit for them. If I were to go into a shop still relying
on OL2000 and MS Mail, the first thing I'd do is write up a proposal
to get rid of both!
