[Gllug] Unix Mailbox format / Exchange POP3 connector etc.

[Jake Jellinek]

Hi,

No, we too have lots of customers using it perfectly well, but this is some 
other product I think, something like Exchange POP3 connector as a seperate 
thing. I dunno, I usually keep away from anything much to do with Microsoft.

They keep quoting knowledgebase articles to back up what they are being 
told about non rfc2822 complaince etc.

Anyway, that side of it I'm happy to deal with, I just was suprised to find 
that there is no defined standard for a "Unix" mailbox, but then perhaps 
there shouldn't need to be.

Jake.
