If you want GUI go for Titan Mail, if you want CLI go for Multimail.
I use Multimail on my laptop and have for years.

I like OpenXP. It's a point reader, but as sysop you can define
a point on your own system.

Linux and Windows versions.

Windows-only but TitanMail's author is part of Micronet.

Not sure if my mail is getting out or not..

I only provide windows binaries, but the source compiles on Linux/BSD.
You need QT 5 or 6, libcurl, cmake and g++ or clang.

I've tested it on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux (and even had it running on
Haiku at one point)

It might, apam does most things with both windows and linux, but I don't
know for sure. Try the Talisman BBS page. www.talismanbbs.com

The win32 binary link in https://gitlab.com/apamment/titanmail/-/blob/master/README.md goes to
a page that says:

Thanks. I asked you a similar question on FSX, so you can ignore it. :)

Nice to see you post!

I wonder if it'd compile under OS/2. I don't know if OS/2 has g++ or clang ported.

I've tested it on FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux (and even had it running on
Haiku at one point)

That's something to remember, thanks!

It might, I'm certain g++ is at least on Arca OS (rushfan used it when he ported WWIV 5 to OS/2)

It would probably take a bit of "convincing" to compile though, and it's
not something I'm prepared to do - though will happily take patches if
someone else wants to.

I'm sure someone will try it. I know little to nothing about dealing with C/C++. I should learn one of these days.

I taught myself C working on MakeNL and MBSE. You're not dead until you stop learning.
