How do I setup At Ease 5.0 Internet preferences to use Outlook Express for each user's mail?
DISCUSSION The easiest way to do this is to setup the At Ease Internet preferences to copy and delete the entire Outlook Express folder(see Figures 1, 2 and 3), but there are some things to beware of. 1. Outlook Express is almost 6 megabytes before receiving any mail so the size of the files being copied may be a problem on slow networks or networks where there are many people using email with At Ease. Therefore, the mail administrator may want to strictly enforce spam filtering and limit file size on enclosures or not allow enclosures at all. Another alternative is to use only the Copy and Delete command for the mail data and mail preferences only. This will require much more configuration but could cut down on network traffic greatly because it will not copy the Outlook Express Application or its cache files. 2 The path to the Outlook Express folder may be difficult to enter into the At Ease Internet preferences because that field allows a limited number of characters. The path will have the subdirectories divided from their parent directories by a semicolon. For example: Startup Disk:Internet:Internet Applications:Outlook Express 4.5 folder You can work around the issue by changing the folder names to something shorter and/or moving the folder so that it is located on the root level of the hard drive. Remember that the directory names must be typed exactly as they appear on their corresponding folder in the Finder. Figure 1: Internet Preferences window. Figure 2: The Edit Preference Item window.
