My Zenith-248 (an 80286 running PC-DOS) talks TCP/IP to it's Token Ring Adapter
and I have software in a 6MHz PC/AT that acts as and IP gateway between the
Token Ring (4Mbits/sec.) and our local ethernet (10Mbits/sec.)  Both the gateway
and workstation software packages are from IBM.  IBM Trancsmission Control
Protocol / Internet Protocol for the PC, program number 5798-FAL.  Included 
in that is SMTP that is designed to talk to a POP server.  I have not used
the mail feature of this product.

I have used PC-NFS Life Line which is a PC-NFS add-on to send and receive
mail via a POP server.  This product is window based, (but not MS Windows)
and work quite well.  C source for a POP server was included with the product
and I had no problem getting it up and running on a Sun-3.  As an aside the
Backup program included with Life Line is very nice and allows me to backup
my 60 Megabytes of local hard disk to a Unix attached tape drive.
