OK. > E-b Needs to be installed into another local Windows PC somewhere on the > LAN. No. Brutus Server needs to be installed on a Windows box somewhere on the LAN. e-b is the client part. Brutus Server takes care of translating whatever e-b says into native MAPI. > -> Can this PC be _any_ other PC, meaning perhaps just a measly celeron? Sure. The only limiting factor is how many client connections the server hardware is able to handle.

If the Windows PC is connected to the LAN using your laptop as a router/gateway, then yes. As a rule of thump: If you could (in principle at least) install and run Outlook on the Windows PC then it is good enough for Brutus Server. > Can E-B be installed in a virtual windows environment (eg: qemu/vmware > etc) running as a client on the host PC? (which hosts the copy of EVO) Yes, sure. > Thanks for the clarification. No problem. Just ask when you run into trouble and please remember to read the server README.
