Hi,
you have a number of options open to you, you can try a POP3
installation, you could get adventurous and go for IMAP. A Webmail setup
is also one way to deal with your situation. You could even get really
carried away and install all of the above. A quick check in the ports
dir and qpopper is available as is solidpop3d and a number of others. I
guess the trick is for you to work out which one suits your situation
best. FWIW webmail can be a bit cumbersome at times your users might
prefer POP3 or IMAP.
Good Luck
