And you have implemented that for how many customers?

It means setting up an LDAP server and training users to use it. It is
hardly a solution you would seriously suggest to small business.

When LDAP is transparent to users it works otherwise forget it. You try
showing a user how to capture a sender's address to LDAP with
PMmail....

PMmail will be viable if it addresses the needs of small business. Then
it can move to a common codebase that rewards the OS/2 diehards because
that means that an OS/2 version is just another compile (almost!)

At present the biggest single hurdle for SMBs is the address book. At
the moment I can sell Domino (or let the opposition do it) or watch my
customers go back to Outlook. The former is expensive the latter is a
hazard but try to tell the customers who cannot mail to an entire book
with PMM or change a major client's address at just one workstation and
have it available to all.
