  • POP Mail client for DOS

    From Dennis Katsonis@1:124/5016 to All on Sunday, October 04, 2020 12:10:00
    Any recommendations for a good POP mail client for DOS? I want to make my DOS machine that bit more useful, and being able to read and send e-mails from it would be useful.

    I tried NuPOP which I thought would work with only a packet driver, but it seems not so.

    I still have modest success using: "telnet <server> 25" at the command prompt. But I keep making typing mistakes to consider using that as a solution, even if I wanted just to fire off a one-liner. When I was exclusively on dialup, I used that method to get a heads-up on the mail waiting at the server, and I would delete anything that had large attachments before I switched to my usual GUI mail program.

    Arachne browser has a nice graphical email client for DOS.
