Has anyone used the new version of InBox, InBox Plus? We just upgraded to TOPS version 3.0, and got the regular InBox nodes. Sun says that the Plus version of InBox, when augmented with SMTP, X.400, PROFS, or MCI Mail, allows you to send e-mail across the internet. Has anyone used InBox Plus and would recommend it? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Thanks in advance for any >replies. We have used it for about 3 months now. It is exactly like 3.0, but can talk to other mail servers and will handle gateways. I *think* it will use gateways to talk to foreign mail packages but I can't get them to send me one. (money does'nt work either) One note: We have it running on a Mac Plus (2.5MB) with an old HD20 hard disk. No non-apple inits, dedicated machine, sounds solid huh? No. give it 48 hours and the machine will bomb! InBox continues to run unaffected in the background but the machine has a BOMB dialog on screen. After a couple weeks of restarting I finally just let it go. works fine. YO \ YO dude
