might have to buy addtional Novell products for GroupWise to work in your
environment (unless you're already running NetWare). It has clients for
Mac, Win, Unix, OS/2, etc. You will most likely need to buy another server
to handle email (I would think even for Exchange).

Subject: [WinMac] email and calendars

I enjoy all the questions and comments. Time for me to stop lurking.

We are a school district and have recently converted our entire
administration from Mac to Windows. We currently use a POP3 email
(Netscape Message server), and have Office 97 on all our desks.
1. What is the best way for us to do group calendaring (for about 12 people
in one site)? Exchange looks like an obvious solution, but is this the
best and simplest to administer?
2. We are trying to maintain our crossplatform access to email as 2/3 of
our district desktops are Mac, is there a good web based email program out
there? It would be nice for teachers and others to be able to go to any
machine and log on without dealing with configuration issues (we had this
in our old First Class days.
3. Is there a bug in Outlook 97 for Windows when accessing email? A couple
of our office clients who have Compaq laptops occasionally get messages
about being out of memory and basically lock up and won't access the mail.
We solve this now by accessing the mail once with any other email client
and then return to using Outlook, which performs fine for a few weeks. Is
Outlook 98 for Windows much of an improvement over Outlook 97?

Thanks for the help

Peter
