ABOUT PARTNERS EMAIL
The Partners standard email system is Microsoft Exchange. It is designed to
work with a PC that's a Partners build workstation using the Microsoft Outlook
mail client. The Microsoft Outlook mail client also works well on a non-Partners
build PC.
The following Outlook mail clients are in use and supported by Partners:
If you use an Outlook PC client (2000, 2002, 2003) with your Partners EXCH account, know that your client blocks a number of attachment extensions (e.g., .exe, .bat). Information on blocked attachments from Microsoft. These attachment extensions should not be blocked if you are using a non-Outlook mail client and have that client configured not to block them.
As a protection from potential viruses, users are restricted from accessing these attachments from within Outlook 2000. Users who need to distribute the attachments on this list must post them to shared file areas, intranets, online hard drives, community Web sites, or forward to a non-Outlook account, or use FTP.
For information on mail clients other than Outlook visit the link on left, "Configure mail clients for Partners email"
Any POP or IMAP mail client (like Eudora, Mac Mail or Entourage, Netscape mail,
etc.) will also work, but full folder functionality may not be available.

- In addition, you can access your mail from anywhere via Outlook Web Access,
