keep exchange features without exchange - run a solo 2003 Terminal Svr

[dotobi]

Hi

A Client of mine has considerably downscaled and now all staff work remotely from home (all 5 of them).

The current setup is 2 servers. One is an NT4 Small Business Server mainly used for exchange and the other is a 2000 Terminal Server that everyone logs onto.

We want to streamline the whole thing and buy a new server with windows server 2003 to use this as the terminal server. We also want to discard the exchange part and literally run the one terminal server with users getting their emails via POP3 (or what ever else we can do to get rid of exchange).

This posses problems though, as secretaries often send emails on behalf of other people, so permissioning is used. Also, we use shared folders, etc...

I was wondering if there is any way of keeping these kinds of features without having an Exchange server. Perhaps there is a way of configuring outlook or there could be some 3rd part software out there that works like a simpler version of exchange that can be installed on the Win 2003 Terminal Server?

Any Ideas?

Thanks!
