Mercury Mail for Exchange?

[mlack]

Hello Bkfs,
from your previous post...Why in the world are you giving up Mercury Mail for Exchange?

We are not runnning a "Mercury Mail for Exchange" product. Just running Mercury/W32 for windows as a relay program for the Pegasus Mail software (which happens to be running in NDS mode on a Novell 5x Server). Do they have such a product (Mercury) that will run on exchange and use the Outlook/OE app? I'm sure with some config I could get the Mercury/W32 software working with the Outlook and/or OE app as I have seen things posted.

You seem to have the relationship between Exchange and Outlook a bit confused - Exchange is the "server" product much like Mercury is a server product and Outlook is the "client" product much like you are currently using Pegasus as the client. There is no problem substituting Outlook as the client where you are currently using Pegasus - for full copy of Outlook you would just sepcify the connection as being an "Internet" connection but point POP and SMTP server addesses to your Mercury server (for OE it only supports internet connections so this is the default - full Outlook also allows more complex setup to Exchange as the server - they call this a "corporate" connection)

With newer Mercury now supporting an IMAP server rather than simpler POP server you should be able to set up Mercury as an IMAP server with Outlook as client seeing full folder hierarchy at the server etc - though I have not tried this as I haven't had the need
