- We use PopMail from the University of Minnesota (boombox.micro.umn.edu
- POPmail/pc/version_2.7.3). It can speak POP2 or POP3. It does not allow
- the option of leaving mail messages on the server. However, one person who
- has helped them quite a bit, has written a strickly POP3 client app called
- NUPop (From Northwestern University). I haven't looked at it much because
- we use POP2 and the last time I checked it was a beta version. I don't
- remember the ftp site either. However, you can ftp an older beta from
- ftp.uci.edu in ntslib/msdos/mail/nupop. I'm sure there is documentation
- which will point you to the ftp site at Northwestern, so that you can get a
- newer copy.
-
- Another option for POP3 which is Windows based (rather than the above which
- are DOS based) is WinQVT. This package is shareware and has POP3
- capability. It has many TCP/IP apps in it. We tested version 2.2 and did
- not find the Mail that user friendly. But I here now they are up to 2.7.
- I read in another news group that you can get it from ftp.cica.indiana.edu
- in pub/pc/win3/uploads (that last directory I'm not positive on -- check
- their index).
