I second this. It makes no sense to make yet another email client. If there
is something which can be used as a library, then it makes sense to create
another user interface which is efl based. Rewriting the whole email stack,
which already took several years for other projects to get to decent state
today is pretty much a time wasting proposal. Same thoughts for IM, calendar
apps, etc.
