MS Exchange Server

Hello, Does anybody know how to get one's email from a MS Exchange Server in Linux? What I want to know is, if it is possible to query Exchange Server like POP3 or IMAP servers. Email is the only thing that I have to boot into windows for and use outlook. Govind Chandra

>....and I think that to get new members... Look out. They might ask strings of ridiculous questions. (Speaking of which...) Web page is ready. Having never done one before I shall simply await instruction from above. Jenny.

Vote now! 17th or 24th...
by MJ Ray 11 Jun '01

Wheels are in motion for the 17th, but people are indicating Father's Day is a bad day for a meeting. Will this seriously hit attendance? Do we want to: 1. Go ahead as planned 2. Postpone to the following Sunday ? Let me know today if possible so I can change the room booking if necessary, please. MJR

Hi all, I've just about finished a web page for alug listing sites and books. (I was going to have the How I Did The NIC Thing on there too but not done it yet). I haven't got a domain and recoil at the thought of Freeserve's free space cluttering it up with banners, so is there a way I can plonk it up on the alug site? Re. relative links....(eg the alug logo), will they be in the same directory? Jen.

1. Go ahead as planned 2. Postpone to the following Sunday Either suits me ok. A shame to break B John's long-standing tradition of attending meetings. Jenny.

Oh well, where were you 10 days ago? Bit late to change now, unless there's an overwhelming outcry. I'll hold the announcement back until tomorrow just in case. -- MJR
