  It doesn't have a Windows interface, but it runs on Novell LANs,
  has a gateway to SMTP (Unix mail), has been tested with WIN3, and 
  is free.  Yes, it's Pegasus Mail.

  FTP sites for it are:
    splicer.cba.hawaii.edu
    rodan.acs.syr.edu
    mibsrv.mib.eng.ua.edu

  The SMTP gateway can be found at:
    omnigate.clarkson.edu

  A very nice product.  I'd look at it before I'd even think of
  buying a commercial program.

I am looking for the same application that would run on both Novell and
Lantastic (Artisoft) networks.  Any ideas would be great.

Here's an idea, but it might take a little work.  Use MUSH-PC (available
from simtel/wuarchive).  You'll have to write or obtain a program that
takes as input an RFC822 compatible message (Internet mail) and delivers
mail to the right recipient.  This would be the way to go if you want to
connect to outside hosts using UUCP (by running UUPC 1.09c).

I don't know much about Novell.  It seems that you should be able to
work it so that mail for each user is delivered (possibly via a
pseudo-user with root (or whatever it's called in Novell) powers) to
their own work area.  Or if security is not important you can just use a
publicly readable area.

Both MUSH and UUPC work under Windows as non-Windows applications
(I send and receive mail at home under just that setup, so I could give
a few pointers on setting up UUPC with MUSH, but not on the Novell
part).  Since both these programs are free, I think it's worth looking
into, but only if you know someone who would write the appropriate
utility to deliver local mail.  If I knew more about Novell and had
access to a Novell network I'd offer my services for this project (for a
suitable fee, of course) but I don't so I won't.

I remember downloading something called Winmai or winmail
from Cica a couple months back. It should be in the /pub/pc/
win3/util subdireectory.

We did try WindMail. But we found the program to be very unstable.
It would cause an unrecoverable error too often. And also it contained
few bugs (i.e. you couldn't page up or down a message).
The editor to write you message was very restrictive to. Everything must 
be typed continuously.
May be there is a newer release that fixes most of the above problems.
 
Sincerely,

The reason I gave up on it was it didn't have
any connection to SMTP mail. Maybe there was 
one, but I didn't find it.
