Computing Outlook and Netscape Setting up Netscape Messenger for POP3 or IMAP access As flexible as WebMail is, some users prefer mail clients with which they are already familiar, such as Outlook or Netscape. While we do not encourage these alternatives, WebMail is supports any local mail client that follows common Internet communication standards. You want to store large messages such as pictures or movies. You want to be able to filter or automatically forward messages. Within these alternatives, the most common mail clients are Netscape Messenger and Microsoft Outlook.
All mail is stored at a central location the server.
All your messages are available from any machine via WebMail or a mail client which uses IMAP4. The mail is copied onto the machine from which you are reading the message, then deleted from the server. If you have already read a message in your office using a POP3 client, you will not be able to access that message anywhere else. Space Because of the central storage, space available for mail messages is limited. You must aggressively trim the mail you save so that you have a sufficient amount of space left.
