Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Mail
 

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.

Sam

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!

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. ;-)

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