Hi,

I agree with Scott that if you need to have users leave mail on the
server, then it is much better to use IMAP.  There are several IMAP
clients available for Windows and Macintosh.  I know about Mail Drop which
is a popular IMAP client for the Macintosh.  There seem to be a few
different ones for Windows, but I don't know anything about them.  You cna
find them easily by doing a search for "IMAP" at

http://www.shareware.com/

There is also PC Pine for DOS.  Since "Net Computers" and "Diskless Java
Stations" seem to be the big thing, IMAP is making a comeback.  It was
originally created for accessing e-mail from terminals.
