POP is a distributed mail protocol designed to allow a larger host to collect and distribute mail for micros, which can contact the host when they like to check their mailbox or drop off new mail to be posted. A mail user need not have a login account on the POP service host; he only need be known to the POP daemon. MH 6.6 is available via anonymous FTP from louie.udel.edu in the directory "portal". Stanford university has a Mac POP client application (called MacMH) to go along with it, but that is not available without a license from them (at a nominal fee for educational institutions). I believe you can send e-mail to networking@jessica.stanford.edu, or U.S. mail to Networking Systems at Stanford.
