         Thanks for replying. Unfortunately the app that best suits my needs
is a version of Uebimiau (POP3 email reader) which is tottally in Portuguese
language but cannot handle databases or virtual email. I have found many
commercial solutions as Webumake which i would have to translate and are too
expensive (but are exactly what i need). I will have a look at xmail
(www.xmailer.org) since it looks as if it is free.
