IOBox is only a shell for sending/recieving things to/from the Newton. It
uses other packages called transports to do all of the heavy lifting. The
built-in transports are Fax, Beaming, and Update. All others are add-ons.

It boils down to:
If you're using POP3, use SimpleMail 4.3. http://www.simple.dial.pipex.com/
If you're using IMAP, use Mail V. http://www.newtonmail.dsl.pipex.com/
If you're using POP3 on a machine with little heap and don't need SMTP auth,
use SimpleMail 3 (available on UNNA). It's smaller and uses less heap.
Other older transports which you may have heard of which are inferior to the
above are:
-enRoute Mail
-LunaMail (part of LunaSuite)
-Eudora Lite / Eudora Pro
All of the above are available on UNNA:
