that message describes a problem building GNUMail with missing Addresses 
framework.

SMTP works, but authentication style detection not, thus if you need 
authentication, that's the problem.

I wasn't able to fix it yet, I can't understand what is wrong! It works 
on Mac 10.4, this makes me suspect about a difference with GNUstep. I 
tried to engage Gregory and Richard helping me debugging this, it is 
really itching me since months, but up to now I got nothing concrete. I 
hope Richard is able to help us soon, a lot of people would benefit from 
a working GNUmail!

Good to know! I did further cleanups, but I wanted to follow Fred's 
improvements, but wasn't able yet, there are a couple of things I don't 
understand.

You should be able to read, just not to send :)
