My hubbys brother & wife had their 1st baby this morning at 1:20, just over 4 weeks early so he is only 4lb 13oz but hasn't had to go to the special care unit and is amazingly cute! A new wee cousin for my 2 boys, sooooooooo happy for them.

That's great.

My youngest was 4lb 6oz and had to spend a couple of nights in SCBU as his temperature was low.

Taller than me now...

That is great that he has survived and now is a healthy grown man

This is sad, but..

After several years of trying, they finally moved my work email account to exchange. I resisted because, frankly, Outlook on the PC is a bloated pile of crap, and Entourage on OSX (which I have to use), is worse. So, I resisted.

Now, however, they have moved me over and I am loving it. Mac Mail handles Exchange pretty well (certainally better than Entourage), and I have a couple of bonuses.

1) Server side mail filtering. I get emails from a lot of mailing lists (as part of my job), so I have quite a few filters to sort those into different folders. With server side filtering, I set the filters up once rather than on every client.

2) If I need to set an out-of-office message, I can do so using a wizard rather than a fiddly sequence of commands, or asking a colleague.

3) The best one: The Exchange server is not accessible outside the Uni, so even if I wanted to, I can't use my mail client at home to check my work mail. I can use webmail, but prefer not to.

We had a lovely holiday in Texas. Plenty music & really hot weather. Now I can think back happy thoughts. Good to be back on the board

So pleased for you gurl. Welcome back

What music did you catch?

nashville · 01-06-2011, 12:50

Mostly Texas Traditional country music & rockabilly. Everyone was so kind. One band member picked us up from the hotel & took us out of town where they were playig at a dance & took us back to the hotel afterward, It was magic We met friends that we knew from the last time & we all enjoyed nights out together. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Are they using OWA for the webmail? If so you can usally use RPC over HTTP to access the server from the mail client when outside the internal network. I don't know what clients other than outlook support this, if any.
