It does not store any user information on the server side. It does not store messages anywhere, so the only messages that you see are the messages that are actually on the POP3 server at that time. The professional edition stores messages on the server side after they have been fetched from the POP3 server, allowing you to organize them into a folder hierarchy like you might in Eudora or whatever mail program you ordinarily use. The professional edition also stores user settings on the server side, allowing users to configure options such as a default SMTP server or a signature message to append to outgoing messages. The standard edition is a version that we intend for use by users as a secondary mail system that will compliment an existing client-side mail package, the professional edition is intended for use by novice users as a primary mailer. Experienced users will probably not be happy with any version of MailMan as a primary mailer, just like they would not use HotMail or ExciteMail for a primary mailer. Another difference, on a more practical level, is that the professional edition is not yet complete, and won't even go beta for at least two or three weeks.
