Here at the lab that I work for on campus, I support at least three users that perfered using Eudora to access their e-mail. We also have a Windows 2003 AD network with XP Pro clients and roaming profiles for the users. We needed to have the mail backed up to our server at night as well as have the users be able to access their mail from a different workstation if needed. I wasn't able to get this to work with Eudora but was able to get it to work with Thunderbird. -t On Dec 16, 2004, at 8:24 AM, Chris Wolf wrote: > I use Eudora 6.2 via IMAP with mail.msu.edu and it is pretty much > trouble-free.
