 I have never used that port myself, but there's PC-Alpine worth 
considering, which I believe uses native Windows networking services and 
also has a classic touch to it.  Compilation instructions are here: 
<http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/alpine-info/build/oldwindows.html>, or 
check: <http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/release/src/alpine-2.24.zip> or: 
<http://alpine.x10host.com/alpine/release/src/alpine-2.24_32bits.zip> for 
64-bit and 32-bit x86 binaries respectively (checksums are published at 
<http://alpine.x10host.com/>).

 Naturally it handles both e-mail and news, and you can cross-post if you 
feel like.

 FWIW,
