Either PC Eudora or Pegasus mail will do an excellent job, I use
both for stand alone serial PPP access, and also use them on a
Netware 3.11 LAN for direct network access. Pegasus is free software
and a bit more powerfull than PC Eudora Lite, but for most users
Eudora will be fine. At home, my personal choice is Pegasus Mail.

On my Netware 3.11 LAN I have a single Read Only directory with
the basic unconfigured Eudora files (there are very few). Each user
wanting to use Eudora gets a mail subdirectory under their home dir.
(home is mapped as a false root)
eg. I : \bchapman
When you do the Eudora install into Windows (also runs from the
network with the ini's and grp's etc in drive I : ), the command
line will be like:
J:\internet\eudora\eudora.exe I:\bchapman
and the workspace dir would be defined as
I:\bchapman
This puts the users mail and personal configuration into private
workspace, not readable by anyone else. The same procedure works for
multiple users on a single workstation with a single copy of Eudora,
but no security.

Netscape 2.x has a built in mailer, as does Microsoft's Internet
Explorer. IExplore comes in three versions, downloadable from
www.microsoft.com
basic browser,
browser with built in tcp/ip
browser with built in tcp/ip and a mailer
I tried the browser, but not the tcp/ip yet. Internet explorer is
reported to be a little more stable than Netscape under Windows 95. I
haven't used it enough to comment on that.
