1007.0. "One more time - Telnet/Dumb terminal access to Exchange mail" by EPS::DEANE () Wed Apr 16 1997 19:54

I'm looking for a way to read my Exchange mail from a
command line/dumb terminal. I already scanned this notesfile
and found note 245 and note 559. As the noter in 559 said:

	"The sort of thing I am thinking of would allow you
	to Telnet into a (WNT V4.0) server and then"... "run
	something to access your mail."

I KNOW that I would not be able to read anything but text,
but considering that text mail messages are about 95% of what
I get via mail, I'd be happy not being able to read the
other 5%.

Anyone know of any third party products out there?

	Set up an Inbox Assistant and forward all of your incoming Exchange mail to a VMS or All-IN-1 account. But why did you start a new note instead of adding a reply to the [heh ... "the"? There are already two of them] existing note?

	re: .1 > Set up an Inbox Assistant and forward all of your incoming Exchange > mail to a VMS or All-IN-1 account. Thanks. Interesting workaround. But it's not what I really want. I want ALL my mail sent to one, and only one, place. I want to be able to read it from multiple places. I don't want to have to go into Exchange after I've read the "forwarded mail" on VMS or All-in-1 and have to re-read and re-manage it a second time. Know of a third party or midnight project that does what I want it to do? Tom

	RE: .2,.0 When Exchange 5.0 comes up on the CCS servers, you'll be able to get at your mail with a POP3 client. I'll leave it up to you on finding a text based POP3 client. I'm sure there is one. mike

	POP3 does NOT satisfy that requirement. IMAP4 does though. You don't have centralized mail if you are using POP3.
1007.5	Refiling available in some POP3 servers	THEBAY::WIEGLEB	Last day is May 2. Farewell!	`Fri Apr 18 1997 22:54`	11
	Actually, a number of POP3 servers allow you to just read a mail message from the server without deleting it as well. Some of the more sophisticated ones will just refile your messages into a "Seen" or "Read" folder after you've read them from the POP3 client so that you won't retrieve them a second time from the POP3 client and can still get at the messages from alternate clients later. I think Innosoft PMDF and perhaps UCX (Digital TCP/IP Services) allow this type of configuration. - Dave

	The other problem with forwarding (at least the way I have my Exchange mail setup) is that the originating addresses are lost; all I can see are the full names of the sender and recipients. If I get much mail from Smiths, it's a guessing game how to reply to them. Not very useful. erik

1007.8	You CAN leave your message up on the server...	JULIET::HARRIS_MA	Networks Sales Exec	`Mon Apr 21 1997 20:05`	10
	I have an ISP who provides POP3 mail to me, and I configured it to leave all the messages ON THE SERVER, so that I can access it flawlessly from Netscape Internet MAIL, or Microsoft Internet Mail, etc. Interchangeably. Presumably, Exchange 5 server will act the same way, allowing some cell-based POP mail client to talk to it ?// I think so anyway... Mark
