Hi Vicki, How about IMAP4? I've put that together for many customers by publishing secure IMAP4 through my ISA firewalls. Works great and every box has Outlook Express, so you can set that up for him pretty quick and easy. What type of interface does he like best for his e-mail client?

He gets kicked off and I cannot track down why - Sometimes it works - sometimes not. . . He is an old AOL user and I am trying to get him off that. But does anyone have a solution that works for POP3 that can get to a server anywhere in the US? We tried an EDGE card and that was tooo slowwwwww. . . I really need a solution for this guy - he lands in places where the internet connection if iffy at times. We have not tried POP3 because the server situation changes wherever he goes and he needs the simplest solution so he doesn't have to change things frequently - but I have not used POP3 that much so I am thinking I may have missed something in the training. Thanks for listening to my not so bright question . . . And any ideas are appreciated. There must be a simple solution - Oh - I forgot - we have Exchange 2000 and he does not like the Outlook Web interface.
