Outlook97 is our INTERNAL mail client. Outlook97 works ONLY with Exchange and should in no way whatsoever work with Prodigy/IPS/Internet mail.

Two users have installed Prodigy 5.0 on their systems, including IE 5.0 and Outlook Express 5.0. On those two systems, Outlook Express 5.0 is the EXTERNAL mail client. Outlook Express 5.0 should work ONLY with Prodigy/ISP/Internet mail and is in no way whatsoever to work with internal Exchange mail.
