Thanks for cutting the odds, I have been in contact with Paul so time will

tell as I am off for Xmas and liable to a be served divorce papers if I'm on

here much longer!! ;o)


Just FYI, I would agree that the migration of email accounts is indeed

tricky (username and password are simple - you just re-create them!!)

.......so we bought a company called Wingra technologies recently

(http://www.wingra.com) who are the world leader in messaging migration.

This has more to do with our concentration on the corporate market with our

upcoming launch of Exchange 2000 and indeed our midrange product aimed at

SME's.


Cheers and a Merry Xmas to all ;o)
