CentOS - Sep 2006 - remote file access,

I need to access my mail boxes from two desktops on a local network, 
windows and CentOS.

Ideas of what would be most appropriate are received with thanks?
Maybe set up an nfs export on the CentOS server?

Thanks
Kai

Why not use soemthign like thunderbird and connect to the mail server 
with the imap protocol? Maybe i am missing something here.

 I use Squirrelmail. If you're not sure how you will like imap make a
second account and have all mail sent to the new account as well so
you will have a backup of your original mail.

Thanks for the answers, I agree that imap may be right, but my dns 
supplier has a quota at 40MB. I like to keep my mails, additional to my 
privat I am following several mailing list, separated, so the quota is 
way to small.
I feel like the best for me is to move my domain here, setting up my own 
server. I have been using djbdn and qmail earlier, but would like to 
change to something more standard, I should manage though, but I am a 
little afraid of the work load setting things up.

So my question at the moment boils down to, witch supplier of dynamic 
dns service to use, that also mx forward without to many restrictions.

Thanks
