Subject: IMAP/POP client for Windows?

PINE is great for sure but --- our users demand Windows program.
So can anyone of you recommend a free or shareware email program
for Windows that uses IMAP, POP and or SMTP?  Preferably MIME compliant
but they can live without that.

** Please reply directly to me via email as it's a little outside the
   subject for this mailing list

(While waiting for a PINE that can be used to read/reply mail off-line
 I have to use this NuPOP program which is pretty good but doesn't do
 MIME at all which is quite unfortunate as the users at work that send
 me mail uses PINE now. And as we speak ISO 8859-1 they use a lot of
 8bit chars which are then quoted...)

Christer,

I have gotten PC-Pine to run as a DOS application from within MS-Windows
using a PIF file that gives PC-Pine some background CPU cycles for IMAP
on 386 and 486 CPUs.  It involves running a package called PKTMUX after
the Ethernet packet driver is started and before MS-Windows is started.

If PC-Pine is positioned in a window "just right" you can see the status
line highlighted when new mail arrives.  

If you want further details.  Please let me know.

Christer,
I'm aware of two MS Windows IMAP clients that support MIME, both of them 
commercial:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Client         MIME?   Source/Vendor   Status
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  ECSMail 2.2     Yes    ISA Corp.       Released <[email-masked]>
  PC-MM           Yes    ICL ProSystems  Released <[email-masked]>

The second one (from Sweden) I just learned about today...

p.s. I CC'd the list because I think your question is actually on the
minds of many friends of Pine... For a more complete listing of
IMAP-capable mailers, see the file mail/imap.software on
ftp.cac.washington.edu, from which the above info is taken.

Eudora for the PC is a windows application and works just like the Mac 
version. It supports both pop and mime and is free. You can find Eudora 
at
