I haven't gotten around to Étoilé yet (but I'm going to need Vindaloo and 
PopplerKit, so I'll get there... eventually). Gorm-1.2.16 works fine, but 
1.2.12 fails to compile. ProjectCenter from SVN works fine, but the 
0.6.0-release fails to compile. I'm of course using newest stable gnustep-core 
packages.

I'm going to look at Vespucci, SimpleWebKit, Flexisheet and Bean later. And 
figure out how to make Grr work properly.

In the beginning I got SMTP-authentification errors with GNUmail, but after 
installing gnutls (possibly unrelated to the issue?) and having pressed the 
"Check"-button several times, it suddenly worked (near)perfectly. It does 
however have a tendency to forget to delete mails from the server (resulting in 
some mails being duplicated several times), though it ought to delete them 
immediately.
