I haven't ported it beyond 3.4. But I always see a week or two effort to
update to the latest branch. Evolution project exports the libemail-engine
and libemail-utils (which is gone now) to e-mail-factory daemon[1]. I just
keeping porting it when I get sometime. Its definitely not dead and I
wouldn't leave it atleast.

The daemon code[1]  is maintained here for the time being once we do all
great, this & the library should be in EDS.  It has a complete dbus api but
the ideal design would be to get a eclient based one. It needs about 4-6man
months to complete this and let evolution use this.
