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,
