Hi Joe,
I honestly can't say as I have no first hand experience with those needs.
Evolution has gotten rave revies from the business community so perhaps it
can do what you need. I'll put this to the list and perhaps someone can
educate us both!

Subject: RE: [hangout] email programs
Ray,
Putty is a windows programs that runs ssh and allows a terminal window into
a unix box. I didn't spell out my goal clearly - so here it is- Since we
run our own mail server - I want the user to access mail remotely and not
pop it to their home machine. We use outlook and eudora on the workstations
(popped from the server) in the office. I am want non unix people to access
their email remotely from a windows box. They can ssh (putty) into the box
and run elm or pine but i find the learning curve for a non linux person
very high. Can they use evolution or the like?
Thanks again,
Joe
