Subject: Another IMAP client (not PINE) ?

Here in the UCAB, we have 2 mail servers; a RS/6000 running
AIX with PINE as mail client, and a PC server with Lotus cc:Mail. The
multiples disavantages of having 2 mail systems (mainly, trying to
maintain a coherent list of users in both systems, the
incompatibilities, like cc:Mail not supporting MIME, etc.) have
decided us to move to a unified UNIX enviroment for mail. Given the
nature of the service we offer (big "computer laboratories" for public
use, not a stable user-machine relation), we found an IMAP mail system
a good alternative. Problem is, switching all cc:Mail users to PC-Pine
will seem to them like a downgrade (they find even cc:Mail interface
"complex and difficult"). There is a good Windows IMAP
client with a graphical interface? Something that don't leave
configuration files or "personal" setups, so anyone can use any
machine in the network? If you have information about this, please
mail me at [email-masked]  

	Thanks in advance

See www.imap.org under PRODUCTS... Esys Simeon, Commtouch, Siren,
Netmanage (and soon Netscape Navigator/Messenger and MS Internet Explorer)
may all be of interest.  

(An html version of the list is coming soon.)
