[windows2000] Re: Groupware using Outlook Express?

Here's a link about outlook's net folders:

http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/netfolders.htm 

It explains some things about setting up the shared folders, some config
that is possible, and some known problems.

But really, these net folders are pretty simple.  There is not a lot of
administration required for them in my experience, just set them up and
forget them!

Hope it works out for you!

Sounds excellent!

Can somebody point me to any good websites dealing with this sort of setup,
how-tos, administration etc?

Bummer!

I kinda' feels like MS is forcing us to upgrade, even if we're satisfied
with the current state of affairs. Right? 

Me, I tend to stick with "if it ain't broken, don't fix it"...
