    Originally I emailed this note but since everyone else is talking about
CE QuickMail and *9 stuff, I thought I'd post this alternative for those
with a Kinetics box running CAP...
    Check out the PieceMail package from Univ. of Minnesota which modifies
AUFS slightly so that a background user csh script can copy mail between
/usr/spool/mail/you and a Mac folder on the Sun server - in this way your
mail is delivered automatically to your Mac when you mount the mail volume.
Nick Jackiw has a very nice init & CDEV, called ChainMail, that works with
PieceMail to notify the user of arrival of mail.
    PieceMail is available via ftp from berlin.acss.umn.edu (128.101.193.1)
in the pub directory piecemial.tar (use binary transfer) or you can contact
Farhad Anklesaria fxa@berlin.acss.umn.edu or UMNACVX.BITNET
    ChainMail was recently posted to comp.binaries or you could contact
Nick at jackiw@cs.swarthmore.edu

    The other solution is to use a POP server as the post office - Stanford
has a solution with their SU-Mac/IP package that uses POP for incoming mail
and SMTP for outgoing mail to a MH-POP server (on Unix); Minnesota has just
finished a HyperCard stack that uses Apple's MacTCP drivers to send and
receive SMTP email to a POP2 server.
    Contact for SU-Mac/IP is macip@jessica.stanford.edu
    POPmail HyperCard stack & POP2 server daemon is available from pub/POPmail
on boombox.micro.umn.edu (128.101.95.95); contact is same Farhad@boombox or
George Gonzalez, grg@boombox

    That's about it, I've been following this subject pretty closely.  If you
have any other questions send me a note.
    If you decide to pick up the POP stuff from UMN could you mail me a copy
since we don't have ftp access to US from here.
