At Stanford we just finished the mail package for Macs. We use MH-POP which is little different from the POP II specification. MH-POP server implementation for Unix is included in the standard MH distribution from University of Delaware. Incoming mail is retrieved from a Unix machine acting as mail server using Post Office Protocol (POP). Outgoing mail is sent using SMTP through a relay host. We have been able to provide the MH functionality using typical Mac interface. We are beta-testing it right now. Any university that licences SU-Mac/IP will get a copy when we send them the next release. For more info send email to: macip@jessica.stanford.edu. raman
