I too have been unable to find a DOS email program that puts all downloaded
email messages in one file. I have used popdump, but that sometimes would just
hang, leaving the disk buzzing/humming but no progress, and there was nothing
else to do but reboot (Reset button). Fortunately when I rebooted into
OS/2 Warp 4 so as to use the OS/2 port of popclient, I found the messages still
there, ready to download into one file. I notice there is a newer popdump
included with WATT-32, and another POP3 and SMTP application, but haven't built
and run these programs yet.
I downloaded and unzipped OpenXP (http://www.openxp.de), but haven't looked at
the documentation files yet: DOS mail & news program being ported to OS/2, Linux
and Windows.
One kludge that can be used with Insight is, after downloading the mail,
for %D in (*.CNM) do type %D >> \home\mboxnnn.mes
You don't have to use this same file and directory name, of course, but the
target file name must not end in .CNM if it is in the same directory.
To upload SMTP all from one file, there would have to be clear demarcation where
one message ends and the next begins.
