I can probably write a pop3/smtp (and maybe IMAP, if I'm feeling evil
enoug) transport layer/library (I actually have most of one I wrote in
java a long time ago for defunct ut-jug.netsuite project).
Major problem being I don't know what kind of interface is useful for
said library.
Does anybody know a good C/C++ socket wrapper library?
And a better question is what kind of features does everybody want in
a gui mail client that we can't get today?
I want:
Uses standard *nix mailboxes, so I can use pine when I'm sshing in.
Complex filtering rules (as a front end to procmail?), and something
similar to pine's aggregate commant set (very handy for deleting
ml-digests that I'll never read... ^_^)
UI completely navigatable from keyboard (I can't stress this part
enough).
And the big question: GTK or QT? ^_^
/me runs and hides from ensuing flamewar.
