    I'd like to start downloading messages from my system to read offline, looking for recommendations on what everyone is using.

    Thanks!

    Titan Mail seems pretty popular. By Apam.

    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.

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

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

    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. :)

    Hello, apam!

    Replying to a message of apam to Sean Dennis:

    Nice to see you post!

    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 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!

    clang ported.

    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.
