Thanks for the info. I have a few other questions.

1. How do you setup a "user" (I'm assuming that means a mailbox with a pop
username/password) in NTMail without setting up a username/password in the
registry?

2. Is there a way to have Emerald (via emerauth.dll or some other
mechanism) actually create the NTMail account when the user is created in
Emerald?

3. If a user already has an account in NTMail, is there an easy way (other
than editing the registry) to get rid of the username/password in NTMail so
that NTMail will authenticate against the Emerald database?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Randy
