Hi Folks... I'm running a Unix machine with public, shell access. What I would like to do is offer off-line mail access, so that users don't have to read their mail on-line if they don't want to. Now, preferably it would just download their mailbox in standard format, and let them go through it like 'elm' allows them to do on-line. That would allow them to read their mail off-line, but how about sending mail? Can that be done? Basically, I don't want to set up a whole bunch of FSUUCP or UUPC feeds off of here, that would be a major headache. I would like a user to maybe have a program that would log on automatically, to their personal account, and then download their mail that is waiting, upload any mail that is waiting to go, but *still* have the functionality of logging onto their account for an interactive session of, let's say, news reading or something like that. Is this possible? I noticed someone posted something about NUPop? I've also heard about POP, but haven't got a clue what that is. :( Thanks for help... Marc -- Marc G.
