Hi everyone,

If you're wanting something modern for offline mail, Multimail's about the
only choice there is for something that covers both QWK and Blue Wave. 
While it's not actively maintained, there are enough of us out here that use
it that can help with its setup, et cetera.  If you're looking for something
else, you'll have to dig dig dig to fine anything that will work on modern
hardware.  I love SemPoint and I have actually gotten it to run under Linux
using Windows 3.11 under DOSbox (surprisingly smooth), but that's a lot of
effort for naught.

Something else you might look at: GoldEd/GoldEd+ can be set up directly to
be used as a QWK reader/editor.  GED has the capability built-in and is
still being worked on.

Anyhow, just my thoughts.
