POP/IMAP E-Mail Client Evaluation - 2003
The 2003 POP/IMAP e-mail client team will evaluate this year's round of POP/IMAP e-mail clients (including Eudora 5.2.x, Netscape 7.0x, and Mulberry 3.0.x) with an eye toward critical host compliance and other issues. Once again the team will also test current versions of Microsoft and Apple clients for compatibility with various University's mail servers. Criteria and scripts developed by past POP/IMAP e-mail client evaluation efforts will be used as a starting point for this effort to reduce the time needed in preparation for actual testing. In addition, the team will evaluate options for complying with the critical host policy using the e-mail clients Penn currently supports, and will make recommendations regarding future support of those clients on campus. Finally, the team will document recommended configurations for each of the proposed solutions and will write instructions to assist LSPs with migration from existing clients to new solutions as appropriate based on the recommendations of the team.
As always, the team will be expected to refine the scope, define requirements and selection criteria, develop test scripts, do testing, and then make recommendations to IT Roundtable. The team will also maintain a web site to enable others to stay informed regarding their progress, and will create draft documentation for LSPs and end users as appropriate.
