Well, my site demands centralized mailboxes.  How would you suggest
I do this without NFS?

- I am aware of POP[23]/PCMAIL/IMAP: we use elm, ucbMail and mh.  Only
  mh supports one of these (POP2).

- We have Sun4's, SGI's, DECstations, an IBM RS6000 and Convergent Tech's.
  Can one of these do a better job of being a mail-host?
