Yes I had planned to develop a SailMail client when Jim Corneman was going to provide a SSB and Pactor modem. That never happened. Since then I have learned about XGate and would see it as a much better solution since it does not require the user to run a specific email client and it works with sat/cell/HF devices.
What I would advise for the time being is not running VPC, but using BootCamp on an Intel Mac. Put the HF comm stuff on the Windows boot and do the rest on the Mac.
For those who want to use a Sat Phone than Iridium does work on the Mac and one can use the normal OS X Mail app and use XWeb to speed up loading of web pages.
Isn't Sat really the future?
