Hi,
I'm going to be setting up a lab with 20 computers, I'm using Outlook 2003,
is there a way to setup
a "moc" email server? I'm using XP Pro and the class is going to be over
Outlook 2003 and I'd like to
be able to send and receive email but I don't have an Exchange server
(there's no server at all), I was just wondering if there was away around
having to create 20 POP3 accounts.

Thanks for your time, Craig
 
XP cannot act as a server this way; no. There might be some 3rd party
applications that support this but Windows XP Pro is still limited to 10
client connections at a time.

Thanks Roady,
It's safe to say XP doesn't support this right?

Hello Craig,

I am afraid that there is no such built-in feature in Outlook 2003 that can
achieve your goal. I agree with Robert on his suggestion that you may need
to build your own internal POP3 server as Outlook 2003 is only a client
email program.
