Outlook without Exchange Server

[Athiff]

I am new to outlook. I am trying to find out if Outlook
2003 can be used with pier-to-pier sertup in a small
office with leass than 5 employees. The functionality
desired would be to be able to forward and recieve
messages, tasks, appointments, share and view calendar
etc.

I was wondering if outlook can be used within a workgroup
in a LAN setup without having exchange server.

Thanks,
Athiff

Not without any sort of mail server, no. There are mail servers out there
other than Exchange, some of which are free (eg Mercury from Pegasus mail).
Whether Outlook will work with any of them, I'm not competent to answer.

mDaemon is a low-cost alternative and works very well with Outlook. It even
offers an OWA like option.
