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...
