It would be good to get a look on it. Maybe by relaying on a real smtp local server would be enought, or just by calling 'mail'. attachment management has been already implemented (attach, detach), in a unix way in 160LOC. by using stdin/stdout. there is some basic support to receive mail. for pop3 its ok, but in imap4 there are some issues. the most common usage atm is as a shell to query imap mail remotely. a better syncronization algorithm should be done to get faster syncs. as you see there are many fronts there :) pgp support would be interesting too. --pancake
