  • Offline mail readers

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Saturday, April 15, 2017 14:11:44
    Hi everyone,

    If you're wanting something modern for offline mail, Multimail's about the
    only choice there is for something that covers both QWK and Blue Wave.
    While it's not actively maintained, there are enough of us out here that use
    it that can help with its setup, et cetera. If you're looking for something else, you'll have to dig dig dig to fine anything that will work on modern hardware. I love SemPoint and I have actually gotten it to run under Linux using Windows 3.11 under DOSbox (surprisingly smooth), but that's a lot of effort for naught.

    Something else you might look at: GoldEd/GoldEd+ can be set up directly to
    be used as a QWK reader/editor. GED has the capability built-in and is
    still being worked on.

    Anyhow, just my thoughts.

    Hello everybody.

    I have just noticed that William McBrine launched a new release of MultiMail a few months ago, 0.51.


    Is there any other offline reader around?

    Actively maintained? Not that I know of.

    There are several, but a lot of them are no longer supported.

    Peace,

    Yes, I have been trying a few, but most of them are shareware and require a registration that will be impossible today.

    So far, just could find SLMR, MultiMail, OFFLINE and the old BlueWave.

    Try my BBS' FTP server at bbsftp.outpostbbs.net and look in /pub/local/offline - you should find a few more there. :)

    Then your best best is to go with MultiMail.
