RE: [Phpgroupware-developers] Re: EMail and IMAP

[Tony (Angles) Puglisi]

The app called "email" is really going to end up more of a service, providing 
high
level API calls so any developer can implement email stuff without having to 
know a
thing about MIME, header folding, etc...

It also has a UI, known as the email app, but my concentration is on the library
side of things where most of the code is going to end up.

The sorry fact is that, like spreadsheets (remember excel vs. 1-2-3), given time
and effort, an email app should eventually implement most of whatever it is that
people use that app for. Many IMAP apps let you so searches, filtering, mailing
lists, caching, all of these are "almost out the door" in the email app/library.

I have also added stuff in the code to allow xml-rpc / soap usage of the 
library,
as well as for "modular" usage within the other phpgw apps.

Personally, I use alot of email apps, I like most all of them, including SM, 
but I
eat my own dog food and use the "email" app as my primary email app.
