I am currently using POP3 but was wondering if SMTP would be possible and better? How can I do it? To quote Russ Cox in "Getting Started with Plan9" "To read mail on Plan 9, you currently need a Plan 9 system that runs an SMTP server and spools your messages; attempting to read messages from a mounted Unix or NFS file system will not work, as Plan 9 uses different mechanisms to lock mailboxes."
