I don't know how to run the unixmail-bin-0.6.bat file.
I open the Command Prompt window, change the
directory to that that contain the unixmail-bin-0.6.bat file,
and at prompt write: unixmail-bin-0.6.bat
and hit Enter, but the Command Prompt window disappers.
How can I run the unixmail-bin-0.6.bat file?
My system is Windows 2000.

This was never made very clear to me but apparently you have to run it in a Cygwin window.
Of course, that doesn't work.
You also have to create a dummy file (also called a "no-op") called "#.exe" in the
Windows System Directory (it is where your system32 directory resides, underneath the WinNT directory in Win2000, if I remember.
Then you have to add a line to the the top of the batch file (and if you use Word or another formatting text editor IT WILL RUIN THE FILE by adding format codes) using a pure ASCII editor. The line to add is
#! c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c
then you save the file e.g. c:\unixmail-bin-0.6.bat
then you run it in the Cygwin windows at the $ prompt
$ c:/unixmail-bin-0.6.bat
NOTE WELL the FORWARD slash, not backslash.
Then...it doesn't work. I get "this does not look like a tar archive" error.
So good luck. I've posted a question about this but don't hold out much luck. Anything that might be helpful seems to have "expired" off the NET years ago.

I believe everything included in unixmail is now available directly (probably with much newer versions) from cygwin. Try just installing cygwin, and in the cygwin package manager pick what you want: mutt, fetchmail, procmail, etc.

I seriously, definitely, gratefully appreciate your rapid response to this post. I have been banging my head on this POP3 to Exchange Server 2003 thing for several days. I knew the solution had migrated but could not figure where.
