I too would like a network version so we can share address book. If
someone else runs MY copy of Pmmail, then I can no longer SEE any
text in any messages until I close pmmail and reopen it. So, no,
running one copy from more than 1 location does not work. On the
otherhand, anyone can run a copy across the network as long as they
are the only one running it at the time.
I have a routine run once per day where it copies MY TOOL directory
to everyone elses tool directory, so we all have the same address
book. Only problem is that I'm the only one whoever updates or adds
to it - not a good solution. I have put icon on everyone's desk to
run my pmmail and hence be able to update the address book, but they
dont do.
So, again, a network version would be nice - or just as nice to me
would be a SEMI-NETWORK version: allow us to tell where the TOOL
directory is and SHARE it ONLY would be sufficient. Perhaps this
would be easy enough to do to make it happen? What cha think Trevor?
