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
