Another reason for wanting POP3 on the NHSNet MHS and another example of how the use of X.400 locks the NHS family out from excellent and useful low cost (free) technology

Agreed I real gem - get it by doing an add-remove from the control panel on
MsOutlook 98. You can then go for Net or CD (on PCPRO last month). Only
270k though...
One problem I've had is that it needs a POP3 server to work which is fine
for all us with external email but I was trying to set up a shared contacts
file for CHDGP and they run netware mail.. There is a POP3 server but it
seems to be better guarded than fort Knox :-((

About Net Folders
Net Folders are Outlook folders that automatically share information from
your computer across the Internet. For example, you can use Net Folders to
broadcast messages to a group of people in much the same way as an e-mail
list server does, or you can share Outlook items such as calendars or
contacts from your computer to any other user of Outlook anywhere.
When you share a folder by using Net Folders, a copy of the shared folder
appears in the Outlook Folder List of everyone who subscribes to the folder.
For example, if you share a folder called Crandall on your computer,
everyone who subscribes to that folder will have a Crandall folder added to
their Folder List. Any item you put in the Crandall folder on your computer
is automatically sent to the Crandall folder of all of the subscribers. If
you modify an item in the Crandall folder, the changed item is updated for
all of the subscribers.
The owner of the Net Folder assigns a permission level to each subscriber
that determines how they can work with items in the Net Folder. For example,
the editor permission level allows a subscriber to add new items or change
existing items in a Net Folder. Items changed by subscribers are updated in
the original folder and in all subscriber folders. For more information
about permissions, click .
Net Folders can be used to share messages, calendars, tasks, or contacts.
You can also share journals or notes. You can share e-mail messages with
subscribers who do not use Outlook, but they receive these items in their
Inbox, and subscriber folders are not created. Outlook items other than
e-mail messages, such as Calendar items or contacts, are not usable by other
e-mail programs.
