I should be fair, and state that any special features of any client can cause problems, along with the issues that simply come from everyone playing in the same sandbox. For example, all it takes is one user to set aggressive (or use poorly trained) junk filtering to wreak a bit of havoc for everyone. Nonetheless, Cyrus does allow concurrent read/write access, which is handy for users that access webmail while leaving desktop clients running. The extra burden with Outlook comes from its monolothic approach that allows email to trigger a variety of events. When I evaluated sharing an account with Outlook 2007, it didn't seem wise due to the ease with which another user can affect your todo list, calendar, and god knows what else. Outlook is really a personal organizer, and should be kept personal, IMHO. > I don't plan to use suscribed folders instead for simplicity reasons. A broadcast alias or mailing list is often better. Or go with a full-blown issue tracker, if that's what you're really trying to do. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
