One of the older (1996) Windows clients. Got passed alsong until it was discontinued by its current owner, Rose City Software around 2009. There's still a Yahoo community for it. But it's 32-bit Windows only, AFAIK; Calypso was 16-bit. At one point, RC released source, but I don't know if any copies were preserved. It was useful back in the day because it allowed multiple accounts, like most email clients do today. But it's old stuff; I wouldn't bother. Pegasus/Mercury is still around: http://www.pmail.com/, but I don't know much about the current (2017) release. I used it mostly because it could import Calypso/Courier mailboxes directly. From Pegasus to Thunderbird was a very easy move. When I moved my workload from Windows to Linux, I just brought along the Windows mail profile content and I was up and running in minutes. It's strange; although I still have some archives, I don't recall what I used for an email reader when I was doing email with UUCP. I do recall that it was awkward--it required a separate utility to handle MIME-encoded content. Folks hadn't discovered email with HTML content yet--those were simpler days. --Chuck
