I've only tested it in FreeBSD and Cygwin, but it _should_ port to Linux if
you edit the makefile to use -lsmapilnx instead of -lsmapibsd (it requires
smapi-2.3; I haven't tried linking it with xmsgapi yet, but I should :)).

I had a quick test of JAM support in the timEd/Unix port before, and it
seemed to partly work, but I still ended up with a few segfaults, notably
after deleting messages, so I wouldn't recommend it.  It may be alright
just as a reader, but you would still be risking corrupting your message
base, so I wouldn't really recommend that either.  It looks as though these
bugs are probably in the (unfinished) SMAPI JAM code, which I may or may
not fix, depending on whether I have time, and whether somebody beats me to
it (or already has!).

Strange - unless you mean the current version in the CVS hosted by SourceForge (?).
