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.

In order to provide some contra to the other comments here

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.
