IMAP and many users on single computer, If we can use TheBat like a webmail client

Hi,

I wonder if we can install TheBat on one computer connected via network to an IMAP server and have multiple users log in to TheBat to send/read their email just as they would have done with webmail from a webbrowser.

Thanks for qualified info if this is possible and if yes how we could do this.

best regards

No, you can't. That is because you can't login to The Bat! as a webmail server.

However, when you've already got an imap server running, you can login to that server with The Bat!

When your single computer is being used by multiple users, they can each run TB with their own settings (provided they've got their own windows user account).

I'm not quite sure what you'd like to achieve, so I can't be any more specific.

OK thanks for the clarification.

I basically hoped that TheBat was able to store the reply-to and Real Name for each username somewhere on the imap or ldap server and grab that information from the server as each user logged in.

As people often forget to log off (the Windows way) from 'public' computers I would prefer that TB did the login and retrieval of user data and they were 'logged off' once they closed TB.

Well I realize that I cannot do this with TB.  Does anybody here know about other thin email clients which have this capability?

Do we need several licenses if multiple users will use TB on the same computer?

Thanks again ;-)

regards

In a word - no. It is licenced per computer, since the software embraces multi-user concepts "out-of-the-box".
