Hi,
My other thought was a different UI, maybe something more like GMail?
I guess I am looking for thoughts to enhance GNUMail...
Well, I like GNUMail for what it is, a straightforward application.
THis is why it is better than many competing clients. SO I'd rather
not see it ruined.
On the other hand, GNUMail has many problems: it suffers from serious
bitrot and on the other hand several things were never really
completed. I speak about the nightly tarballs, which offer quite some
improvments compared to the last "pre" release, but are beta-quality.
GNUMail tends to crash, it has problems with events (changing
mailboxes...) IMAP support is sketchy sometimes. Ludovic blames that
some servers are broken, which is probably true, but other clients
work around this somehow.
As guidelines for development I'd look at some features Mail.app,
Outlook or Thunderbird have, but without complicating the user
interface if possible.
Better RTF/HTML support in emails. IN the future, integration with SWK
could be very cool.
A spam filter! Spam has become a serious plague.
Better find.
But for the rest, not much to add. It works and some things are better
left simple. If anybody is forced to use MS Outlook (not express) then
he knows what I fear.
At the end, if you look, apple's Mail stays reasonably simple and it
is wonderful so.
Riccardo
