Hi there
I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to compile a PET file for the above application?
The thread is here:
Reading through the thread, I saw that others had to compile an additional dependency to ensure that it worked correctly.
I did check the PPM but could not find the application listed.
Thanks in advance!
Looks like there are 2 dependency packages needed in FossaPup64 (I added these via PPM in my build environment)
First is libxapian-dev
Once nmail is built you only have to add the shared library to the package (which I have done)
Second is libsasl2-modules
This is a cluster of plugin libraries in a sub-directory (included in the package)
Including other packages (or bits of other packages) is unconventional, but it can be a way of offering "install and go" .pet packages
The nmail package runs but I have not tested it much at all, so can't guarantee it is perfect.
Feel free to grab it and give it a test run
The README is in /usr/share/nmail

Bless You OscarTalks for helping me out.
I look forward to giving this a test run!!
Can I ask you how you find out the dependencies before you begin compiling?
I have installed the ListDD application found on the forum but this only lets me know what is needed?
I wanted to know what is required beforehand and if it is installed already. This way it would save me time not to download anything that need more attention.
Thank you again 
In this case the list of dependencies is in the README.md which is in the extracted source top directory
Often you will find things documented within the source
Searching for the packages by name in PPM will tell you if they are already installed or not, or you can get clues from other places such as the lists in /var/packages or /root/.packages
