If you have a telnet client you can run pine (or something) on ftoomsh. With
pine, you can save mail messages into different folders by pressing 's' when
you have the message selected.

If you wanted to use a 'remote' mail reader, one way to access both your socs
and progsoc mail boxes is to forward your progsoc mail to your socs account -
which you can access.
