I might be missing the point here, but wouldn't it be easier to get everybody to: a) disable receiving in their current mailer (give Outlook a bogus account for _retreiving_ mail) b) mail/forward their stuff to their new address c) fire up their X/Un*x/whatever mailer and download it? I know it's going to put a _large_ load on the network and servers - but whether that's an issue or not for you depends on how many users and how much mail - how much are you talking about? 20 users? 1000? 5000? Either way I recognise that it's still far from being a perfect solution... -- Regards | _/\_/\ Andrew Johns BSc (Comp Sci) | / \ TurnAround Solutions Pty Ltd | \_...__/ http://www.turnaround.com.au/ | \/ "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better,' so I installed FreeBSD."
