Which e-mail client would you use within

Hi,

Before anyone answers, it would be best to know whether you have a mail server? If so which one? And are you likely to implement one in the future?

Also what size organisation are we talking about here 10 people, 100 people or 1000 people?

Cheers,
Tim.

Along the same lines as the first answer...even if you don't currently have a mail server, if you have an existing network server that might make a difference. If you have a Netware server, the obvious choice is Groupwise, if you have NT/2000 server, Exchange or possibly even Lotus Notes are the obvious choices. As far as advantages/disadvantages, that's a HUGE can of worms. You're most likely already aware of many recent security issues with MS-Exchange. Then again, many people are alreadyfamiliar with Outlook Express, which may alleviate training issues. I personally prefer Groupwise 6, but if you don't already have a netware server that might be a stretch.

Like the other answers, you gave no indication of network size, # of users, NOS, etc. That said, I've worked with GroupWise, Exchange, and Notes. Like the 2nd answer, I prefer GW, but, only if it's on a Novell network. Windows network, you have to look at Exchange, but remember, Exchange and Outlook are VERY prone to virus and hacker attacks. Notes is a good system for groupware and shared flat-file database functions, but it requires more administration that the other systems, and it's overkill just for the email functions. If you don't have many users, you may want to have your ISP host your email, and use Eudora as a client.
Good Luck.

Assuming they are all on the same network outlook is great. we use this at our campus and it is so easy to set up its not funny. the only problem is that you have to set it up every time you logon but i think that is just the way the network is setup. Outlook is definetely the best way imo

The size of organization would be around 1500-2000 people and we have got a NT/2000 server.
Administration is pretty organized and it should be enough for any mail servers and client.
Thanks for the help, guys!
