[Zope] Web mail system: Worldpilot, GUM or... recommendations?

[Eric Balasbas]

The last I heard, the company that created Worldpilot was no longer in
business, or at least no longer supporting Worldpilot. GUM seemed to be in
a very early stage of development, but I haven't tried it in a few months.

I think that Zope has all the right features to make a good web
mail agent, but no one has bothered to write a polished web mail program
for Zope.
