FossaMail ( https://www.fossamail.org/ ) announced that they will be shutting down next month, and I must search for a replacement email program again. So far, my research for replacements found Claws Mail, and Slypheed, but are there any other stand alone email programs that are being updated? One other requirement is PGP support for encrypted messages.

    Why do you think a 64-bit email client won't do?
    Do you think mutt cannot be run on a 64-bit only machine?

    Mutt will run on a 64-bit machine. That's where I run it. I ssh -X to my 64-bit email server, and read on my 32-bit laptop in plain text mode. If I ever want to look at an html version of a message, that's what the -X is for. But for html-only messages I get to decide whether to look at them,

    Putting mutt inside a virtual machine might be a good idea if reading html gets to be worrisomely common.

    Bad phrasing on my part - I should have written "any client that can deal with files at least two gigabyte files and deal with at least 32bit adressing libraries" (ie, meant to exclude sub-32bit)

    But to answer, no idea - last time I tried mutt I was still on a P3.
