Does anyone know if any public domain program/code exists to handle communication between a POP2 or POP3 server and PC? I need something which can be run on a PC and will use a pre-installed FTP-standard packet driver to connect to a specified host, receive new mail, and place it in a specified directory? Is this too tall an order to fill? Must I write all the code (including TCP/IP routines) myself? -- Steve "Skillman" Hillman "Everyone generalizes" hillman@whistler.sfu.ca skillman@tz.wimsey.bc.ca

I have a message handling system interacting with POP3. That is a program
(actually a group of server client/programs) in the POP3, PCMAIL, IMAP3
family, and is SMTP/822 compatible. Its user interface is similar to
Unix MH.
More information is available via anonymous ftp to "netix.com" under the
directory of /pub/PC-MH-info.
Note: It is not FREEWARE. But, this posting is not for advertising
