However, we never found one and I highly doubt you will in the future, since Microsoft has abandoned development on that product in favor of Exchange server. If you can get all your users up to the Win95 level, you can use the Internet transport in the exchange client, you know. Also, even if you cannot do that, Microsoft has POP3/SMTP e-mail now available for free download from their web site for Windows 3.1 that nicely replaces the old file-based Microsoft Mail client. There's also always Eudora Lite, of course.
