Not easy to find as Compaq doesn't list this product in its core "messaging"
web pages (it only lists microsoft, lotus, novell products).


Compaq Office Server for OpenVMS V5.0 		(Aka: ALL-IN-1)

   SPD: 61.49.02 

   DESCRIPTION 

Compaq[TM] Office Server for OpenVMS[TM] V5.0 builds upon the proven strengths
of Office Server V4.0A, ALL-IN-1[TM] and MailWorks[TM], delivering robust and
scaleable messaging and collaboration services to a wide range of mail clients
on a choice of server platforms, communicating with a choice of messaging
backbones and directories. Key features include: 

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) V3 support over TCP /IP enables
access to the new generation of LDAPv3 Directory Ser vices becoming prevalent
on the Internet and intranets. 

IMAP4 Client (Internet Messaging Access Protocol) support 

Fault Tolerant and Fail Over capabilities facilitating the recon nection of
clients without user intervention 

Load Balancing capabilities enabling one server or cluster to sup port
thousands of diverse clients with improved response 

The capability to create, send, reply and forward mail from the In ternet,
with personal access to the Office Server File Cabinet with logon and password
authorisation - in conjunction with Of fice Server Web Interface  V5.01 and
V6.0. The ability to publish documents of any type for Public Access is
retained. 

 Multiple client support including Outlook and Exchange with the de ployment
of Office Server MAPI Driver V5.0 and V6.0 (the MAPI Driver) 



It also has a POP3 server.


While other platforms have had revolutions requiring a complete change in
messaging infrastructure every couple of years, ALL-IN-1 has provided a solid
evolution since the early 1980s and is, today, supporting all the moderns
standards as well as continue to support VT access. Not many architectures can
claim this.


Also, ALL-IN-1 (aka office server) has an extremely powerful PERL like
scripting and on-the-fly document generation capability with access to RMS
files by field name. It also has very strong links into VMS for system
management functions (for instance, scripting access to the UAF, system queues
etc etc).
