Fw: A Hello, and a webmail query

[Robert Smith]

Paul,

    Have you investigated Neomail ( http://neomail.sourceforge.net/ ) ? I've
used it on a few platforms, although never FreeBSD (yet!). Its fairly nice,
not configurable to death as you might expect, but should serve to do what
you want quite easily.
