WinDIS uses the KA9Q directories, and should have no problems. I
suggest following the installation guide, but as it written for Demon
you should find it quite easy and if you already have a KA9Q mail
policy it should read that. When setting up WinDIS enable Pop3,
and set up Pegasus or InTray to read your mail from Pop3 by setting
your host as <nodename>.demon.co.uk and your account as whatever your
mail policy is set up to read.

If you do decide to use (freeware) Pegasus then you can use my DEMail
to automate the loading of WinDIS, so it isn't so awkward. It is at
