Another Option: have their home outlook set to leave messages on server...
delete after x days...
on 12/20/99 11:38 AM, Jeff Graves at [EMAIL PROTECTED] groaned out in
severe agony:
> Okay, i'm feeling brave today so here goes. This problem
> spawned from not being able to get vmware or wine working:
>
> Problem:
> 1) I need to read email in linux and windows and mac and....
> 2) Employees want to read their new mail at home but would
> like it to remain on the server so they can still read it at
> work.

> Solution:
> Web front-end to pop server. I looked at just using pine. But
> everyone here is so outlook-ized i want to puke and management
