Re: [cobalt-users] Webbased Email

First of all, thanks to everyone who took the
effort to answer my initial question. 
I have a lot of good examples and will investigate
them soon.

Next to that, I am completely with the comments Jeff
made. We want to use this for a customer who travels
a lot and wants to read his email on the browser.
I want to offer him a hosting contract and one
of the requirements is the WebBased Email functionality.

No way I will go into the Free-Email market.

Regards,

Bert Catsburg
