Consider MacMS from Stanford University.  Contact person is Bill
Yeager, e-mail address yeager@sumex-aim.stanford.edu.

It uses the IMAP protocol (RFC-1064) to access mail with a Unix system
as the central mail agent.  It's a neat package!

Unlike most POP-based systems it scales well for large mailboxes and
on lower-speed networks (e.g. cross-country or international).  Of
course, it also works quite well on high-speed networks.  One of the
best features is a unique message searching capability.

I have a compatible package for the NeXT computer: MailManager and the
novice-oriented EasyMail.
