yes, standard mailboxes are needed, filtering is also a must.
since i have intermediate experience with gtk+, and none with
qt i'm forced to side with gtk+. i'm even down with doing it
with perl/gtk+ if people could stand it.
i think making it very customizable and theme-able would be
a cool feature too. at least let the colors, buttons, visibility
of features be customizable.
and if we use perl we have a plethora of modules for pop3,
smtp, probably imap, sockets, gtk, etc.
i've been reading a lot of java books too, doing it in java would
be a good project too.
anyone else interested?
