I'm using Emacs 24 and would be fine only supporting 24+. Selfishness aside, I do think it would be a shame to make it more difficult to try out mu4e on the default Emacs in many distros. Unless I'm mistaken (and I hope I am) most distros still use 23 by default. With that in mind, 24 is pretty critical if someone wants to have a reasonbly modern Emacs experience, namely good package support from melpa / marmalade. So even if you do make the effort to support 23, there is a really good chance a user will need to upgrade anyway. In any case, I'm not the one doing the work (Thank you Dirk!). I am happy to help let folks know that they need Emacs 24 though and hopfully help in a tiny way directing people to a better Emacs experience. I'm a +1 for only supporting Emacs 24. Thanks again Dirk for mu4e. I was a wanderlust user for a good while and when I tried to recreate my install on a new laptop, it was a nightmare. I've managed to recreate my mu4e configuration a few times over and become productive in no time on linux and osx, thanks to mu4e and for that I thank you.
