blueMail Homepage


blueMail is a multi-format offline mail reader for Unix, DOS, Win32, and other systems. It should compile under all Unix-compatible (POSIX) systems.

blueMail supports the Blue Wave, QWK, QWKE, SOUP, OMEN and Hippo packet formats, the Hudson and BBBS Message Bases, Unix mail and Eudora. It has a full screen, colored user interface built with the curses library and is designed to be a reasonable alternative to the Blue Wave mail reader.

There are screenshots available, as well as online versions of the documentation of blueMail and its configuration file.


Download

The latest version is 1.3:
    DOS Binary
    (recommended for use with Windows, too)
    Windows Binary #1 (compiled with MinGW)
    Windows Binary #2 (compiled with Cygwin – withdrawn due to a bug in cygwin1.dll)

If you want to compile blueMail with option WITH_CLOCK and a PDCurses version prior to 2.6 by yourself, you must patch PDCurses first, because the official releases had a bug with the halfdelay() input function needed for the clock. There are patches available for PDCurses version 2.5 and for PDCurses version 2.4 which can be applied to older versions accordingly.
