I'll try posting in this group.  What I'm trying to do is use
portable unix machines (e.g., Tadpole Sparcbook) to read mail.
Obviously one can log in to the home machine & read mail that
way, but it tends to be slow & run up phone costs.  Also, one
can use uucp, but it is complicated to set up -- also, I don't
really want the remote machine to look like a separate machine.

So, what I'd like to do is similar to what the Eudora mail app.
does on the mac.  It uses the Post-Office Protocol to read mail
and transfer it to the remote machine, where it can be read at
leisure.  It uses the SMTP protocol to send mail, but mail can
be queued on the remote machine & transferred in a batch.  This
is much more efficient both in terms of long distance charges
and in terms of usability -- i.e., you can compose mail on the
local machine with multiple windows, etc.

Question is, has anyone written a mail agent for unix that fulfills
these desires -- I've beeen looking around, so far no luck.

Thanks.
