Please don't let Neo see this from you - I can hear the laughter
already!

OK, OK, "warm bodies," then!

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!
