Be sure to look at Eudora. By installing a pop server ("popper") on a unix  
machines, the Macs can easily receive mail from each other or the Unix boxes.  
It allows attachments using BinHex4.0. You can set up dial-up connections,  
(but I've not tried that).

The interface isn't as snazzy as CC:Mail or QuickMail, but it is easy to use  
and better yet, works very well, and best of all, is free.

You can find it on SUMEX-AIM or from Qualcomm's server at ftp.qualcomm.com
