Greetings and happy holidays.

After an evening's worth of effort, I finally got Louie Mamakos' SLIP  
software installed and working on my mono NeXTstation at home.  Telnet,  
ftp, rlogin, and NewsGrazer are all happy.  Mail however, is not.  The  
SLIP system I use assigns me a different IP address each time dial in.   
This means that I need another solution for mail.

I have several options to solve the mail problem, none of which I know  
much about.  There's UUCP, POP, an app called MailManager, and I've just  
read that SLIP commander has a "retrieve mail" function.  Any information  
on any of these alternative would be greatly appreciated.  I'd even settle  
for getting pointed to the appropriate books, documentation files, etc.

I'd prefer posted responses for obvious reasons, but email will work too.

Thanks

Mikael Behrens

  I've used MailManager and EasyMail(which use imap, a pop-like
protocol) from NeXTs with some sucess, and can recommend it.
  It's especially good in that it will happily interwork with other
pop/imap mail services, and **doesn't trap me** into only being able
to read my mail from a single machine: the NeXT with my mailbox on it
(:-()
  Besides, it speaks MIME
