- ONE REALLLLLY big note about WPOffice. It does NOT provide cross-platform
- EMAIL capabilities in the best way!! That is, you do not read the same
- mailbox if you are on a Mac as you would on the PC!!!! You have one mailbox
- for the Mac and one for the PC and never shall they meet!
-
- Take a look at Pegasus Mail for example of a product that provides the same
- mailbox no matter what the platform. Take a look at IMAP technology for a
- better example of true class platform mailbox capability.
