yes but your users would be. How would they be able to partake of  your 
message bases? Finding drop in replacement maill managagers for your users is 
hard. I have a Squish one for use under Opus to replace the built in message 
base but I feel personaly that the savings from such a transition are 
negligable. Besides It is Not a sysop off line reasder I was looking for. I 
got Opmed and Bluewave which can handle local Opus bwave management.
