Re: Replacement for Outlook

[Bill Swallow <techcommdood -at- gmail -dot- com>]

If it's a POP account you should be able to use any mail client. If
you need scheduling, you may want to see if Outlook Express will work
for you (of course it's got its issues as well). I believe Thunderbird
can handle most if not all of the Exchange data. Otherwise, talk to
your IT department and see if they can think of alternatives. Of
course if it's all via Exchange then you should be able to use a web
UI off their servers, if they have this feature enabled and
configured.
