CB> how would you describe the current state of Mahogany? CB> This time nobody work on it, right? Hello, Unfortunately this is mostly true. As I use it as my email client I do work on it but mostly just to keep it working with the latest wx versions (sometimes adding code to take advantage of the new features in wx) and to fix the bugs which affect me personally as well adding the features which I myself need. But no big new features have been added since quite some time. CB> The gui feels quite unergonomic. I tried to set up a CB> nntp-server-account. First, I don't really advise using Mahogany as a news reader. It can be used for this but it's really not convenient compared with a real news reader. I use it for mail and very occasional news posting and continue to use slrn for reading USENET.

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand this. "User name" and "password" are usually not used with NNTP servers but if they're you can only enter them here, where else? And the "server" field is mandatory, of course. I must be missing something but I don't see anything especially unergonomic about this. CB> 1.

Yes, of course, there are no artificial restrictions like this in Mahogany. You just have to understand that the global options (e.g. the SMTP server name in the global preferences dialog) can be overridden at any folder level and that the child folders inherit the parents value. So you can create an IMAP folder for the IMAP server itself and then create folders in the tree for all the existing IMAP folders on the server under it (this can be done automatically by choosing to "Browse subfolders" from the main folder context menu). And so on. CB> I am quite busy the next month, but I am looking forwarde to work on CB> Mahogany code because I need a Mail-/News-Client. What do you think CB> about it? :) I'd obviously be very glad to have any help with it. Unfortunately its code is not always very clear (mainly because it's more than 10 years old) but I'll definitely find time to help you to get to grips with it. Please post here if you have any other questions.
