Yes. And yes. Openmail 6.0 with EP1 and a patch from EP2 seems real
stable with outlook2k here. Using it for 50 users here and it works
great (even on our old, overloaded P133/32mb). Why does everyone think
Exchange is so stable and great anyway? They're both buggy, but I
think Exchange is buggier.
In our situation, we only had a P133, and you'll have more problems
from running NT+Exchange on a P133 then you will from openmail.
