Indeed the mail all comes from an imap server, but it can't stay there
too long or it gets tossed. So I intend to use fetchmail/procmail/whatever
to pull it off the imap server and park it under my home directory on
the main file server. From there I can view it directly on the file
server or by nfs-mounting my home directory on linux or by mapping the
directory as a network drive on windows.

Great! I guess I overlooked this. I've tried it and it works well.
I guess the key to my scheme is to have lots of programs that support
the same mailbox format, and the most widely supported file format
seems to be berkely mbox. I've looked at the mail with pine, mutt and
netscape from all three platforms (well, there's no mutt for win32).
Can you suggest any other mail client programs for win32 that can read
mbox format?
Thanks,
Dave
