I do offline operations most work days. I spend 30 minutes each day on BART and I catch up on some email there with no connectivity (and no keyboard, tablet style). Unfortunately for Chandler email planning, I require full IMAP folder synchronization and operations, which is beyond Beta is my understanding. This is a barrier for me, so I'm in that category of "probably won't switch email clients until Chandler email rocks" and therefore need an interoperability story. I'm really curious to find out how this will all turn out, as I use two email clients simultaneously, both syncing through IMAP, and I wonder how the proxy/extension/Chandler-server approaches will integrate. I'm most excited about the "drag a message to an IMAP folder and have Chandler sync with that folder" approach, as I think this provides full interoperability with the multiple simultaneous clients I use. BTW, Thunderbird totally sucks in practice for disconnected operation for me; if I mark anything deleted or filed, those operations get overwritten when I reconnect. And the compact function totally interferes with multi-client operation. Outlook is better in this regard, actually, but I never use it. The desktop email client space is still wide open. -- Jared _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design
