FYI, I've set up a simple Mac mail system which now runs on a small
LocalTalk network; it consists of MailStop (POP2 server) running on an
obsolete Mac Plus with an obsolete 60MB hard disk, and POPMail and TOPMail
clients. All software is from boombox.micro.umn.edu.
MailStop is the *only* non-commercial Mac server I'm aware of. Nothing
fancy, but it works fine. The clients are quite slow (HC stacks), and
POPMail doesn't feel well with only 1MB (TOPMail was designed to work on
"lean" Macs). I'd much rather use Eudora, or (a not-too-distant second)
TechMail, but they are POP3. Maybe someone out there can write a simple
POP3 Mac server for those small groups who don't want to bother with a Unix
machine?
