allowing remote computers to be able to veiw internal email offline.

I have a Client that is running a 2000 server with Terminal services, which is connected to the interenet by a T1 line. Currently they have 7 users that use it on a week to week bases. Also on the same network there is a internal email setup. Which the seven users need to be able to use and their internet emails.

Right now each user is given 10 hours of a dial up Internet service a month that they can use anyware they travel. and anytime they want to look at a message in Outlook they have to connect to the internet and terminal service to the server. What they are looking at doing is cutting down the time that each user needs to be connect to the internet by attempting to have email saved to local remote drive for off-line viewing and editing.

If you have any Ideas for them that I may be able look into for them please feel free to post.

this comes to mind, but it is a different approach to the remote access issue not the time consumption issue; though it would seem to be faster.

I presume they run Outlook through the terminal server, in that they run the application through the session, and on the server...

Sounds like they want to eliminate the Terminal service for email. They would need to VPN into the network, then download their email to the email client on their PC’s, saved in an OST, or PST if using Outlook…

yep that sounds about right Ya_know I will have to look into the VPN part now. Thanks
