Hi Florian, Thanks very much for your update.
I follow your advise and progress . Below the diff's AIX output concerning change in email.c.

They end with pthread_exit() which that version of GCC doesn't recognize as ending the thread of execution and is thus complaining about a missing return statement. I think if you replace "pthread_exit" in these functions with "return", the compiler should be happy.
