Do you want a single program to do both functions?   I don't know
if that exists, but it's easy enough to make dedicated programs
work the way you want.  I use PMMAIL for email.  PMMAIL supports
POP for receiving and SMTP for sending and will send/fetch
automatically on connect of you tell it to.   For usenet I use
"changi" a freeware nntp server for OS/2 that lets me read usenet
offline.  Any nntp client can be used as an off-line reader with
changi.  I use the IBM Works "Appointments" applet to fire up the
dialer and connect to the internet at defined times and read news
and mail offline at my leisure.
