I have over the years purchased or caused the purchase of many versions =
of
PMMail, both OS/2 and Windows. I would love to see a LAN aware version =
so
that I could share address books between my wife's copy, my OS/2 Copy an=
d
My windows Copy on my local LAN at home.

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 i=
n
any messages until I close pmmail and reopen it. So, no, running one cop=
y
from more than 1 location does not work. On the otherhand, anyone can ru=
n
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. Onl=
y
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?
