Sorry if this question has been asked and answered several times but
I am new to this group and have not seen any related postings here.

My question is this, we have a network of NeXT machines each running
NeXTmail and their mailboxes are local on each users machine. These 
people want to be able to read/reply to there mail from on the road
using either a notebook PC or a PowerBook dialing in through a SLIP
line. I have looked into running a POP server on each machine and 
then using a POP SLIP client on the portables but then either the 
mail remains in the mail spool to be gotten a second time by the 
POP client or it is removed from the spool not allowing 
incorporation into the Nextmail system. I recall some mention of
PINE and IMAP in an earler postings, will that do what we need.
Where can I get some more information on these srevers and respective
clients?

Any feedback on this problem would be helpful. I am new to Nextmail
and pointers would be very useful.
