Don't be confused over "at the lan" as my tnc and radio is coupled
with it.<br>
You still can receive ax25 mail, amprnet and Internet mail (winlink)
over the radio with this setup when Internet is down.<br>
<br>
Outpost with the tnc is doing ax25 only to retrieve the mail. More
a terminal program in the background to do the processing.<br>
<br>
From Thunderbird’s point of vieuw, it is only talking tcp/ip
protocols to handle and retrieve the mail<br>
from BPQ, FBB and Jnos.<br>
You need an ax25 stack with this, Jnos or Linux, etc. to carry
tcp/ip frames and for identification.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks Bob.
Using an intermediate host to collect all mail is an
interesting solution. But I think your last three words
are the key: “at the lan”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">My original
question was about the mbox command line because I’m working
in scenarios where the LAN/Internet doesn’t exist (i.e.
because it is down, such as in EmComm, or because it doesn’t
exist, such as at a remote checkpoint of a bicycle race).
So the end-user has a computer, a VHF/UHF radio, and a
1200/9600 baud TNC. We usually use Outpost in that
situation because it presents an interface like an email
client to the user, but behaves like a user typing on the
mbox command line to the BBS. Outpost does include the
original message. But I was hoping for a way to do it
directly from the command line, too. From your original
response, I thought perhaps you had some nifty way to use
pop3 in that remote scenario.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The ax25 BPQ
and FBB bbs have a pop and smtp server and are set to
certain ports different from my regular linux server to
avoid a conflicts.<br>
<br>
Fetchmail pops from BPQ, FBB, Jnos and other Internet email
accounts to a linux mail server.<br>
So everything for me at whatever mail address provider ends
up in one mail account at my server.<br>
<br>
Thunderbird at the client computers reads the mail from the
server using IMAP so that all mail remains available<br>
for all other clients so everything keeps in sync. (sent,
read, whatever) You will see exactly the same, sent, read
and<br>
the other mail directories at whatever computer you are at
the lan with the same contents.<br>
<br>
My Thunderbird mail inbox at whatever computer for my
account contains mail to different mail To: addresses for
me, all in one big inbox.<br>
At the account settings you can setup outgoing smtp
server(s) and identities. Separate identities are setup for
these (To:) addresses<br>
You can link an identity to a particular smtp server for
delivery. ax25 and Internet/Amprnet mail handling is just
the same, you just<br>
fill in an ax25 mail address like a regular Internet mail
address.<br>
<br>
If I reply to an ax25 mail for <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:ve3tok@ve3tok.#scon.on.can.noam">ve3tok@ve3tok.#scon.on.can.noam</a>
from <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:ja1abc@7M3TJZ.13.JNET1.JPN.AS">ja1abc@7M3TJZ.13.JNET1.JPN.AS</a>
for instance, the<br>
write pane in Thunderbird will show automatically "From: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:ve3tok@ve3tok.#scon.can.noam">ve3tok@ve3tok.#scon.can.noam</a>"
and sending it will go to the right smtp server what is<br>
the one at my ax25 bbs in this case. This is valid to
whatever identify the mail addressed is to in this inbox.<br>
<br>
In a new message to whatever ax25 / Internet mail address I
can change the From: address identity (drop box) from the
default.<br>
<br>
Amprnet, Internet and ax25 personal mail handling are fully
integrated from whatever computer at the lan. <br>
