Migo uses the existing transport to send and only modifies the POP3 settings to match your own, so it requires that you have at least one mail account on the login machine in order to send mail through it. This is the only way to deal with ISPs that require users to send mail from an IP within their network. If you're using Outlook in corporate mode (i.e., connecting to Exchange), you'll need a VPN connection or you'll have to read mail via Exchange's Web interface. Forward Solutions says it is looking into more elegant solutions for Exchange, as well as support for additional groupware solutions in the future.
