Very big ++theorbtwo , I guess neglecting freshmeat was my 1st mistake. I get v.v.disillusioned with sourceforge, in particular the number of projects that look like onetime posters, or are just dead in the water - unmaintained.

Users are in the majority case using Outlook Express IMAP, some are using Outlook which is M$ Small Biz not enterprise so it don't have IMAP (pricks), but it supports Exchange (painful wart on the network). I don't have too many qualms with ppls using things like netscape mail , since they're so few and interestingly enough, rarely need assistance. OSX is a rather different beast, it's Mail client is featured if you're prepared to devise an LDAP database of everything...you'll notice LDAP and ActiveDirectory feature briefly on my homenode. Thankyou again.
