OK, well if the people concerned are acting against company policy,
then they don't have a leg to stand on. However, if they are using
PMMail legitimately and their employers allow that, then force them to
change their client it is a different kettle of fish.
I am forced to use Microsloth Outcast for work email, but for driving
my private mail while I am at work I use PMMail 98 via POP3 because
that is what I want. I'm outside official channels doing that, but that
is no problem because my ISP is not about to force me to change to
IMAP.
I was trying to get a feeling for why they found themselves in the
situation, as I think IMPA will take a while to get into PMMail. I was
wondering if they could find a workaround until that time comes.
