    I tried NuPOP which I thought would work with only a packet driver, but it seems not so.

    Maybe Pegasus Mail for DOS?

    Might be an option, but you would need to setup a mail transport.

    Perhaps here is an opportunity to create one for DOS which uses mTCP tools.

    Why wouldn't you just use your ISPs mail server to relay?

    What do I need to do to set up TCP? Will it work simply with a packet driver? I've never done TCP with DOS aside from mTCP tools.

    What is the set up process?

    Last time I did that was half a life ago. If you have mTCP Tools running, then you must already be connected to the internet? It should just work.

    Thats what I thought. I'll try again, see if I've missed anything.

    Any recommendations for a good POP mail client for DOS? I want to
    make my DOS machine that bit more useful, and being able to read and
    send e-mails from it would be useful.

    I tried NuPOP which I thought would work with only a packet driver,
    but it seems not so.

    Arachne browser has a nice graphical email client for DOS.


    I got NuPop working. I'm not sure what I did, but I can read e-mails. It doesn't seem to support using username/password for sending via SMTP. I'll look further, but I've had some success.
