Eh... not exactly the topic started... but it happens.

I'm not (necessarly) interested in downloading another email application, coding my way into making sure that the entire system respects that I want to use the other mail application, and then fiddle my way through the user experience.

I've got a solid solution with Modest (scary right); and I'd like to know what kind of functionality can be grafted onto that without killing the UX that it already has.

The other side of that is that plugins of this ilk *should* be designed for other email apps for the platform - bonus points if the same plugins could be used for different applications.

This kind of developing and thinking brings coesion to the platform, and invites folks who are less technical to take a leap, knowing that if they don't like a program, that either another program+plugins would work better, but not have to fiddle with the finer points of their personalized use.

Thanks for the suggestions and comments nevertheless... I'll either find a means to learn to code for the platform, of press my observations and questions in better-served directions.
