Well, INBOX should be retreived from /var/mail/user, that's without
discussion. Another question is where to store local folders. I think it
would be nice to be compatible either with PINE (~/mail), or with
Netscape (~/nsmail), or with IMAP standard.
My plan is to use existing sendmail and fetchmail to send/receive
messages. It's not worth rewriting them...

Not really. If you join [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list (via
[EMAIL PROTECTED]), you can ask other people.
Basicaly, my plan is complete rewrite, because current Insight is very
messy, uncommented, it uses too much DOS-specific functions, etc.
