[Eug-lug] Fwd: question about email hosting solutions

[Ben Barrett]

I've used those a little -- but is there any mechanism to add a context to a
message that doesn't have your desired keywords already, for instance?
(other than replying to yourself with them tacked on...)  IIRC, Evolution is
good at that too, although maybe a little more memory- & CPU-intensive.

One other idea I had, is that if all your users are on specific PC's, say
for a business, you could be mean and *not* let them know their own
password;
then set them up with gmail for domains, and keep the password saved in
either the browser for webmail or the standalone email client (POP)...
possib;y ensuring that they do not use the other interface.
(if you didn't want them to access the business account from elsewhere, for
instance)  Sounds a little exreme, I know, but hmmm...
