RC> 1. Maildir support. This shouldn't be very difficult to do, in fact. Most of the UI for maildir folders would be the same as for MH ones. And there are patches to c-client adding maildir support. The trouble is that I don't know which of them to choose and neither of them is ever going to be accepted into the official distribution so it's another thing to maintain ourselves. But if it's really important I could consider it. I don't use maildir myself though (only MBOX just because I like to be able to run vi on my mailboxes) so you'd need to be available to test it and answer questions about maildir peculiarities should I have any.

Hmm, we already have "equivalent addresses" option in the "Addresses" page so it could be used here too by replacing all addresses equivalent to the given one with the "original" address. This is a bit ugly though (at the UI level, I mean). Do you see a better way to implement this? I'd like to avoid using the ADB for this though. First of all, because it is so slow that it risks seriously affect the folder view display. Second because this information is not part of any of the semi-standard LDAP schemas and I'm looking forward to starting using LDAP. RC> 3. Improve editor. :-) This fails my "useful for myself" criterion as I have "Automatically use external editor" option on anyhow. But if there any simple changes which could make your life better, let me know, maybe I still could do it. RC> 4. Possibility to hide/show subtree in threaded messages RC> list. Yes, this would be nice and should be supported by wx now (with wxDataViewCtrl). RC> 5. Look for possibilites to sppedup operations on folders with large RC> number of messages (>5000). This depends on the folder type. With dovecot (which uses indices for MBOX files) I am working without any delays with folders containing several thousands messages and I also have no trouble opening my SendMail and Trash folders (containing ~30000 and >100000 messages respectively) provided I disable threading/sorting for them (if not, there is a delay but not unreasonable). OTOH I fully expect access to folders with 5000 messages be very slow if you use local MBOX mailboxes because c-client maintains no index for them. So if you already use a local IMAP server anyhow, you should try passing via it -- does it help? RC> 6.

Get it to Gentoo :-) Sorry, no help from me here. I've never used Gentoo and seeing the troubles I have with making any releases at all (even for my own Debian/ Ubuntu machines) it's hopeless to expect me to do anything about it. RC> I whish I'd have time to help with these... Me too ;-) Anyhow, thanks for your feedback, let's see if we can do anything about it.
