My current plans are to use something like tinymail and Qt, with GPG support. I think modifying and maintaining claws will be far too painful atm.

If anyone has some suggestions, please let me know

Responded by email as well, but no objections from me (though I'm not even the current maintainer despite what packages.maemo.org says). If anyone decides to take a shot at it, it would be nice if the plugin packages could be manually optified to work around bug 7707.

Yeah, funny that the full-featured, desktop-oriented MUA outperforms the mobile-optimised one ;-)

If you'd like to help bringing a new facelift you can contact the developers at:

AFAIK there's no interest for Fremantle upstream, but they probably will accept patches.

I would avoid anything camel-based (ie tinymail or evolution) for IMAP support personally, it's just too broken IMHO. Possible alternatives include libetpan (seems to work fine in claws at least) and QMF (particularly if you're going down the Qt route). On the Qt front, another option would be to look into backporting the MeeGo handset client, when that materialises.

Another project that had a lot of promise was telomer/polymer (the author really groks IMAP), but it seems dead for a long time now.

So there are many possibilities .... just understand what is the quickest and easiest...

Unfortunately I don't know well the linux environment, but on windows if I can be useful in some way...I'm "available" :-)

Much appreciated. I'll update this thread when I think I have a decision made
