Thanks. That's more than enough to go on. I've just to decide whether
to go this route or just add to a 32bit XP guest OS I've got running
sometimes for Rosetta stone and Excel. The excel is just there for
work, so it makes sense to put the work email icaclient in there too.
Downside is I'd have to grant the VM net access. :(
Thanks for coles notes though! It will make a decision possible now.
Best,
