[comp.sys.mac] Mac <-> Unix E-Mail Program

dr@myrias.com (Dragos Ruiu) (02/02/90)

  I am looking for any kind of solution that will let users
familiar with Macs access Unix style electronic mail.  I am looking
for pointers to any kind of software or hardware - public domain,
shareware, commercial... anything.

  I know that there are facilities to talk to VMS mail from Macs.
Does anything of the same ilk exist for unix ? If you know of something
I would appreciate you dropping a note to dr@myrias.com.

Details:

  Ideally I want a mail reader that can dial up a uucp system, grab
the mail and let the user compose, send and read the mail with familiar
Mac style tools. The objective is to give unix e-mail access to 
persons who don't touch unix with a ten foot bananna :-).

  I have attempted to write a simple set of scripts in MicroPhone that
act as a simplistic front end for Mail (mailx for you sysv people). It
is sort of a MacMailtool, but it is not acceptable because it isn't
Maclike enough... the buttons across the bottom aren't `Macish'.

  Anybody have any idea ? 

(please email, as sometimes the volume on this group overwhelms me)
