Hey all,

I’m going to be moving on to my next project and have been thinking about doing an email client. I like Thunderbird, but the search is terrible, and I also want to tackle something that needs pretty high performance for processing emails etc.

Any suggestions or considerations I should think about?

I’ll focus on just getting SMTP going in a CLI then I’ll introduce some sort of frontend using Qt.

    Can you give some examples of large programs with their own email client?

      I’ve heard this joke about emacs, not sure if it is true though.
