Thanks for the visual response
Yes, mail will come directly to our server. I want to forego the ISP's mail altogether.
In testing out our mail server, I set up a user mailtest, sshed in and used evolution to read/send mail with evolution set to "local delivery." This removes the POP-to-outlook step, but...
a. The users we're talking about probably aren't computer savvy and such a solution may not sit well with them. Any Windows-user-friendly similar solutions?
b. I was envisioning having the users "download" the mail from our server to their WS. But now that I think about it, it probably makes more sense if our server is the final resting place. Old and new mail could live together in peace
Access from LAN or VPN would be transparent. Backups would be centralized. Next question would be "What is the best way to go about this, in addition to the one mentioned above?"
Thanks again!
