I'm setting up a NetBSD-0.9 box, but with no internet plug on it.
I've been looking for a pop-mail CLIENT ! to run in the box. All I
find is a lot of nice servers but no unix-client.
There are some clients for PC's and MAC's around but none for unix...

Is it really like this or hava I missed any software somewhere? This ought to 
be a quite common need, there MUST be a lot of boxes around without direct
internet access.

So, I'm looking for a pop client where i can time schedule calls to a ( some )
popmail host(s) to retrieve and deliver mail. All this have to be installed
and run on a NetBSD or FreeBSD- system.

Any ideas or hints are welcome.        


Pls answer by E-mail.
