  • QWK mail readers

    From Charles Blackburn@21:1/221 to All on Tue Oct 10 16:05:04 2023
    hey all

    currently using TitanMail on linux as an offline mail reader.

    does anyone know of a decent mail reader that works similar to a "regular" mail client, such as thunderbird? there's some quirks in TM that i'm not a big fan of. such as not being able to sort the mail by date etc.

    I know there's multimail for the console, but i would prefer something GUI based if at all possible.

    I seem to recall an old Windows reader called "Wave Rider", that, if it'll run in a modern OS, might work.
