E-mail
using Exchange |
When in the "Stone-Age"
of computers/networking (which is just 25
year ago!) the first few systems connected
to the ARPANET (which became later the Internet), one service
become immediately very popular with the users: "e-Mail".
Windows95 and NT4 include a simple workgroup-mail-system, based
on the "Microsoft Exchange Client",
later (in OSR2 called "Windows Messaging")
and if you can work with its limitations:
- no mail exchange with users of other postoffices
- no access to any Microsoft Mail gateways
- simplified administration tools,
it will work fine.
It is included in Windows98 as an old Windows95
software.
( if an e-mail system is too much for
your usage and if you just like to send
quick messages over your network for immediate display , not
being stored
for later delivery, then you can use the simple Windows Popup-Messages ).
| Note: Microsoft is now using the name "Exchange" for the NT4-Server based Client-Server-E-Mail system, using now Outlook as e-mail client and allowing communication between multiple site and with gateways to the Internet and other e-mail systems. |
The "Post-Office": like on the paper-based mail-system
("snail-mail"), somebody needs to organize the mail and
its delivery, and since it is up to the users to define, on when
to read their new messages and on how long to keep messages (
before deleting them), mail messages need to be stored in a
database, and databases containing mail-messages are usually
called: "Post-Office".
