[comp.mail.uucp] mail shells for ascii terminal

jschlupf@sparta.UUCP (John Schlupf) (07/19/90)

I would like to know if there are any fullscreen-type "mail"            
programs around that provide menu's etc. to the unix mail function.
An optimal progrgam would have other "office productivity" tools  
included as well, such as a calculator, little calendar, etc. etc.
Please lemme know if any are around! thanks

We  use  Uniplex version 6 for our office automation tasks.  It comes  in
three  modules, of which, the base module is the only one that runs alone
(2  &3  both  need  1  to  run).   These  are:   Base  (word  processing,
spreadsheet,    database    (Informix));      Advanced   Office    (mail,
calendar/diary,  personal/company  phone address, calculator);   Advanced
Graphics.

The  spreadsheet runs in any of three personalities:  Lotus, Multiplan or
Uniplex.   The  graphics  allows for better resolution  graphs  than  the
spreadsheet  can produce.  The mail doesn't really allow you to work with
the  O/S  mail system.  Uniplex transfers mail from /usr/spool/mail  into
its  own  environment, where it allows users to setup multiple  mailboxes
for  mail segregation, where each mailbox has Incoming, Sent and Archived
areas.

I'm  not  sure how to get info from Uniplex, but if anyone is  interested
email me and I will find a brochure.
