Re: Microsoft Exchange Server Connection

Hello,

this is a solution to maybe try if POP and IMAP fails.

It requires an extra box of some size.

A Windows NT machine running VNC [1] server.

A OpenBSD box with X and VNC viewer or a Java enabled http client.

  Use the OpenBSD box and VNC to connect to the Windows NT machine 
VNC makes so you get a window with the desktop of the machine you are 
connecting to. Read your mail in there.

  This will keep you in OpenBSD for most of the day. I hope it 
compiles/run on OpenBSD.
