   Hello Robin,   
      
   I played with BeeMail for a little while. From what I remember, it was     
   loaded with many Fidonet-specific features and tools. It just needed     
   additional support to transfer packets over today's preferred transport:      
   the internet.   
      
   But I decided very early on that I would not be happy using it for the     
   long term.  The GUI design looked too old-fashioned Win9x-like. BeeMail's     
   graphics did not look very good on my 1400x1050 laptop display.  So, I did     
   not bother to invest much time on it.   
      
   I've narrowed down viable point-software to 3 programs. See:   
      
           https://kolico.ca/fidonet/echos/points/   
      
      
   However, your adventure to build the addtional support programs for     
   BeeMail would be interesting should you decide to pursue it.
