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.

Have fun! Unless you have insane amounts of freetime you probably won't finish it or get it to a state of solid usability. But maybe the journey is the goal and that doesn't even matter.

Cheers, yea its just something to work on/look into. I'll never finish it of course, but if I can get a few versions into it and has some users/interest I'll keep working on it.
