[pmmail-list] Exporting fromm PMM to Outlook?

[Don Buska]

Hi Paul,

I was actually running PMMAIL under OS/2 off the server here at work.
Everything was on the server (executable and all).  That way if my desktop
system crashed I lost nothing.  The server was backed up nightly!  So I
needed NETBIOS over TCP/IP on my machine and NETBEUI on the server to see
the network drives and execute my PMMAIL.

So my only choice when they went to a WIN2003 server, which according to our
IT person did not offer NETBEUI in the protocol selections anymore.  It may
be something that could be added, but like most places I was the only OS/2
user out of many hundred employees.  It isn't going to do much for me
anymore as I'm out of the standard for the whole organization.  IT will not
waste their time on one loan OS/2 user.

So my only choices would be to move all my PMMAIL stuff back to the desktop.
Which may not help if they eventually remove the POP/SMTP support from the
Outlook Server.    My second choice is to migrate my older emails over to
Outlook as that is the direction I'm forced to take now. I've been using
Outlook now for around five months on a WIN2K laptop at work.  Still like
PMMAIL better, but what can I do!  So I've officially made the move to
please our IT people. 

So thus my NETBEUI statement.

Regards,

Don
