    BlueMail!! :-o

    I think this[1] is not the BlueMail I'm looking for...

    Could you let me know from where I can get the BBBS[2] compatible
    BlueMail (for Linux)?

    Thanks in advance...

    The BlueMail mentioned in the email is probably the email client for Android, which I use. If you are talking about ther multiformat offline mail reader

    No, not Multimail but a fork of it called BlueMail :) BlueMail has the ability to read BBBS message files directly, something I cannot get to work on Linux

    Multimail never did. A few of us ask the Bluewave developer to try and install BBBS message base which he did. Of course, he has long left BBSing

    I don't understand the issue. I download offline mail packets (including Omen, BW and QWK) from BBBS all the time and have no issue reading and replying to those packets.

    What is the issue with MultiMail or BlueMail?

    Bluemail has the facility to read and write to the BBBS message base directly. It was a long time ago that I did that and on Windows.
