Group Internet Mail Services

The programs listed under Services do not require Microsoft Exchange Server. Many do not work with Outlook 98 or Outlook 2000 in Internet Mail Only mode, because they work solely as MAPI transports. FAXmaker for Networks/SMTP 2000, WinFax and Zetafax are exceptions.

POP/SMTP Servers

If you run TCP/IP on your network, you can install a free or inexpensive POP/SMTP server, often combined with a proxy server. See our EMO newsletter article on The POP server solution. Then, everyone in the office can connect to that local server with their personal Internet service.

WorkgroupMail, listed below, operates as a POP/SMTP server.

Tools

Tasks can also be created in Outlook based on events in your database. Ability to Synchronize both ways means information can be updated or backed-up quickly. Offers complete flexibility by allowing connectivity to any standard database through ODBC.
