I have a message handling system interacting with POP3.  That is a program
(actually a group of server client/programs) in the POP3, PCMAIL, IMAP3 
family, and is SMTP/822 compatible.  Its user interface is similar to
Unix MH.

More information is available via anonymous ftp to "netix.com" under the
directory of /pub/PC-MH-info.

Note:  It is not FREEWARE.  But, this posting is not for advertising 
       purpose, just an FYI.
