I'd really miss IMAP support. For a long time I used fetchmail &
procmail, but that resulted in me actually not reading the e-mails that
got put in mailboxes different from my spoolfile. Withmy current
workflow, consisting in going over eachemail of my different mailboxes
through IMAP, kind of every email has a chance to get my attention. So
it's a bit like when I read e-mails frommy phone, but more comfortable.

I, too, have a few things I'd like to see implemented, with enough
interest in them to be their implementor, if nobody else stands up.

By the way I am blind and I know many other blind programmers love Mutt.
So they will strongly want to keep it alive, just because it's even
harder for them to pick a new MUA than for others (they have less
possible choices). Some of them are wonderful programmers, but I don't
know how many of them would be willing to get involved.

If a call is sent out to mutt-users I'll happily transfer it to the
BRLTTY mailing list where those blind hackers are.

Seb.
