There are plenty of needed skills besides programming, such as documentation, translation, graphic design, and simple constructive user feedback.

Since 2.0 is already in string-freeze (so the translations can hopefully be brought up to date), I'm putting the feature ticket for this into the list for 2.1: http://www.logicprobe.org/proj/logicmail/ticket/270 > - Mark labels for each email Can you be more specific? This is something that is obviously IMAP-only, and support for non-standard labels might be inconsistently supported across servers. So if a feature for this is designed, I'll need some examples of how its normally done. > - Enable message threading You know, I've never actually enabled this feature on my desktop clients (mostly Thunderbird these days), but I can see how it could be useful. It might look a little awkward with a partially-downloaded mailbox, though. It would also be quite complex, since it would require a completely different mailbox screen design. (and one that might be a challenge to make touchscreen-compatible) So I'm not ruling it out forever, but it might be a little too much for now. > - Removal of double dashes in signature (optional) Adding those double-dashes was actually a specific user request. Apparently, they're the standard way of delimiting the signature block in E-Mail (technically its two dashes, a space, and a line-feed), so clients can detect the signature. Can you give me an example of another e-mail client that adds then, optionally, so I can see how they configure that? > - Offline storage of IMAP emails, whilst having updates whenever possible I already cache any message you read, so that's done. What I don't do yet is robust background polling and/or message download. That's the signature feature for 2.1, once I get the time to start designing it. (2.0-beta issues and correspondence may keep me busy for a while) > - Sort generic labels/folders/directories to the top level, i.e. Inbox, > Starred, Sent, All Mail, Trash, etc. Labels come underneath it. This is actually a decent idea, and one that might not be too hard to implement. For now, it'll just do folders that are specifically configured (i.e. Sent/Drafts), since the IMAP spec doesn't specifically mention any folder names beyond INBOX. Assigning this one to 2.0 for now, but it might get pushed to 2.1: http://www.logicprobe.org/proj/logicmail/ticket/271 > Am sure there are many more, but I hope that there's a comprehensive > roadmap that'd make Logicmail more feature-pack for usability.
