I've never heard of any way for sure, since the email programs on the
Newton are direct-to-Internet stand alone email programs; they don't
require or use a PC to sync with like the Palm programs seem to.
HOWEVER - I think that the ORIGINAL version (not the current version) of
Eudora for the Newton DID work that way - it synced with Eudora on your
computer. I don't know that (a) my memory is correct, (b) if/where you
can still get it or (c) if it Eudora still works with it (d) if Eudora
can import Unix mailboxes (but I have a memory that it could).
Hope that helps. If it does, or you find some other solution, please let
us know here, I'm sure all us NewtonTalkers and my Info-Newt web site
readers would like to know.
