 TBK> Is there a way to setup your email client to fetch your BBS mail?

Depends what BBS software you're accessing.  Some software, such as Synchronet
will let you access netmail using an email client.  Other software (e.g.
Mystic) will only let you access local messages via POP/SMTP.

I'm not aware of a way to a way to access echomail via POP/SMTP, but they can
be accessed on a lot of systems using NNTP with a newsreader.  Both Synchronet
and Mystic support NNTP access, and other systems could use JAMNNTPD.  On your
end, Thunderbird can be configured to access NNTP.
