Not quite sure I follow, but the intention is certainly to allow clients to create and break threads and to present labels as per-thread, rather than per-message, data. > Do you have considerations wrt to programmatical thread browsing and > editing API? I suspect won't get into that level of detail. The API will be more along the lines of "give me thread 6" and you'll get a tree of message ids back, and on the client side you can represent that however you like. Unless there's a compelling case for handling portions of threads at the API level. > > - Allow concurrent access from multiple clients. > > Since the first post on sup-server I've been nurturing the idea of "fat" > sup-client for maemo/meego.

I looked at it, but the dependency on activesupport is a dealbreaker for me. There's no way I would pull that pile of Rails shit into Sup. RMail is not great and I don't like using it, but it really is the best thing I've found so far. I think I have whipped it into shape pretty well in heliotrope. > Who would give us bindings to GMime and wrap it inside Mail API... I would use GMime bindings in a heartbeat. -- William <wmorgan-...@masanjin.net> _______________________________________________ Sup-devel mailing list Sup-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-devel
