I use DOS TAPCIS on Compuserve to download my mail. It saves all mail
messages, one after the other, in a long text file. Multiple messages
in "majordomo" lists that I subscribe to are strung along in that file
just as if each was an individual message. My style is to use a text
editor to kill, copy (append) out to other files, etc. the mail
messages. That is how I operate most efficiently. If I get a binary
attachment in text form, I simply UUdecode it.
I just activated a POPmail port to Compuserve so when I travel, I can
access messages on any PC with a browser. I had intended to save
messages to a text file (browser save to file command). But, I see that
all messages must be accessed individually and multiple messages in a
list have to be individually accessed as well by clicking an icon for
each. It is a pain mousing through dozens of messages, one at a time to
save each to a text file, and then joining all those files together.
Question: Is there a POP/IMAP web site, or a small WIN32 POP/IMAP or
TELNET or otherwise mail program that I can use to assess my Compuserve
mailbox, and that will save all messages to a single text file like
TAPCIS does? I will be calling from a WIN32 PC that has internet access
but not direct dial-up access to Compuserve.
Thanks, Barry.
