Michel Pelletier wrote I would *love* for someone to take over NotMail. It is an extremely cool Zope product, fairly well written and documented in code, and not needing much polish to become a super cool thing. In fact, I bet there are several people on this list qualified enough to finish it off with reasonable effort.
There's a number of other neat-o features that can/should be added to NotMail, tho. Last time I looked, it opened a new imap connection for each web hit - eesh.
Right now we're using IMP (www.horde.org) for the webmail component of our site. I'd _love_ to see Notmail be in a state where we can consider using it. It would also be cool to be able to slot other forms of messaging into the Notmail frames - why can't some of the top level entries in the folder list be imap server accounts, some be Confera topics, while others are, ooo, let's just say a voice mail box?
If you take a step back, there's the Notmail core, which is the 'here is a folder, here is a message' and the IMAPAdaptor code, which deals with the IMAP specific part. No reason that you couldn't make it so you can plug other message stores in as well...
