I just bought IDS mail by Intuitive Data Solution. It does the trick.
e-mail in code, platform-independant, send and/or receive.

Can not tell you whether it's good or bad but some UT members
have used the software to their satisfaction and mentionned
it in an earlier thread.

Make a search on UT if you need more information.

My two cents :)
