Well, both? According to the "about" window in the client on the
200LX, it is indeed "cc:Mail mobile", but I believe I also need to
set up a "normal" post office. (The 200LX manual does not say anything
specific about versions.)
There were also the SMTP, POP3, and IMAP gateways for
cc:Mail Post
Offices. [...]
Yes, it may have been 8.1 I looked at a while ago. At that time I had
the impression the SMTP gateway only handled outgoing mail, but that
does not really make sense, and apparently it handles both directions.
Fetchmail -> cc:Mail SMTP -> Internet SMTP

I think that the top three lines could likely run one system.
Well, I think the bottom two are the same (i.e. delete "mobile" and
change "remote"->"mobile"). I was able to connect the 200LX to a
Post
Office using null modem with no "mobile" or "remote" add-on installed
on the windows PC, if I remember correctly.
I think "mobile" was a product for laptops, and the one on the 200LX
was a minimal version of that.
Do you think this might do what you are wanting to do?
After all, it
seems like it's cc:Mail's answer to your question.
Yes, probably. All I can say is that it did not seem so simple when I
looked at it some time ago.
(I think my problem was that I did not consider Fetchmail. I was
looking for that functionality in the cc:Mail documentation.)
