is there an IMAP server available for Windows XP? Here is what I want to do: I want to take my outlook folders that receive POP3 email and make it a IMAP server so that I can get my email anywhere with local mail being stored on the server. Or am I doing the wrong thing?

I have a linksys four-port router. How do I set up an XP box to be a vpn server (what ports need to be open). I need this to connect so that no matter which wireless access point I'm at with my PDA, I can VPN in so that the optimum online mail servers let me send mail since I'm in optimum online territory.

is it possible to have setup run the installation automatically as normal, but then sysprep and shut down so that on the next turn on it prompts for a new product key and all that stuff? It should also reset the SID. I want to make computers have automatic names as well. I plan to set up several different PCs (different parts) so this would be helpful. Microsoft has an OEM preinstallation kit, but nLite seems to work. Do I just have to add sysprep and a sysprep.inf file to the GUIRunOnce?

I am running XP Pro SP2. When working in Video Toaster, the monitor will suddenly turn off and the computer will freeze. Is it possible that there is a problem with the video card driver? It is not set to go on screen saver or turn off at all. If I keep the mouse moving its fine. The video card is the Gigabyte GA-NX66128D. I haven't updated the card's BIOS, it still says engineering release. Should I update the BIOS and drivers in windows?

Dell doesn't change their keys though - the key that my machine is currently installed with is a universal key for Dell - if I Google it or my product id I get a lot of hits.

I know that this is possible, but I want to know if it is legal. I am building systems for a Microsoft OEM who buys OEM license packs of XP Pro. I do not want to individually install each one, but rather use volume license media to install it unattended, but place an OEM sticker on the side. There is a way to do this using sysprep and then changing the key, but Dell systems are installed using the same key for Pro and another key for Home - on all systems, but stick an OEM sticker on the machine with a different key. So can I legally install XP Corp on all the systems as long as I place a different OEM sticker on the side of each. In this way, each will have a valid license.

After installing Norton SystemWorks 2004 Pro, I was unable to use Add/Remove programs to remove any programs installed before I installed it. Programs installed after it was installed still have the remove button visible. I thought it might have to do with CleanSweep, but even after uninstalling that, I could not remove programs.
