I may as well ad my 2¢.
Even before I started using Linux, I never used the popular Windows
clients. Support seemed to be clueless about all but Outlook and
Netscape mail. You have to convince them that your software works
fine, but you just need their help with info so you can congfigure it,
and get them to talk about addresses and protocols instead of specific
dialog fields that they are familiar with. It often helps if you are
familiar with THEIR software, and can fake it while configuring yours.
