Does anyone know of a Mac Mail program that supports connection to the unix world? Ideally, it'd be a reasonable Mac program. I used the old version of MicroSoft Mail and it was terrible! There appear to be several new mail apps available for the Mac, any info about them would be appreciated. You can post to me and I will summarize if there's sufficient volume and interest. Thanks, Al Lehotsky

I posted uupc for the mac (LSC4.0 version with upgrades for a working email interface (line oriented - sorry) aliases, timeout variable in systems (L.sys) sequences and more), to comp.binaries.mac about 4 weeks ago and have not heard if it has even been received by the moderator. A worthwhile project for some enthusiast out there would be to modify some existing nice mailer to produce uucp spool files for uupc to send - any takers - what a superb university project (hint hint). --alen the Lisa slayer ...alen%shappy@crash.cts.com (a mac+ uucp host - what a concept) ...alen@crash.cts.com

The Macintosh mail package is QuickMail from CE Software. There has been a group of 15 of us that are using it right now. Much, much better than Microsoft Mail. For connection to the Unix, world, we are using Mail LInk*SMTP by StarNine software. All of my mail, Mac as well as Unix comes to my QuickMail mail box on the Macintosh. Macintosh users can use the forward, reply, and enclose options with Macintosh as well as Unix mail. I would highly recommend these packages!! Nora Auseklis Macintosh System Administrator Mentor Graphics Corporation P.S If all goes well, all 400 Macintoshes at the Corporate Headquarters will be using this package.
