I've written such a system (but it's simple) using the communications
package "Professional YAM" and the mail breaking part in Turbo-C V 1.0.
I take this one step further since I'm on a LAN and have a
BBS.  My LAN BBS wakes up every 1/2 hour and checks for any outgoing
mail on the LAN.  If any exists, it automatically logs onto the UNIX
system sends the outgoing mail and takes incoming mail.  It also
collect mail at 6:00am so the mail's on my LAN when I get to work. 
The BBS allows me get/put any files between my PC at home and the LAN
at work.  I'd be happy to send source, but you must purchase YAM to
use the communications scripts ($139 Omen Technology 503 621-3406).
This also collect and sends mail using our UCLA Mail system under TSO.
I therefore never logon to send/receive mail.  I have no plans to 
enhance this system, since it's just for my personal use.
