Looking for my next project (programming.dev)

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.

You may consider helping the Thunderbird devs

Yep. I think I may actually do that. I'm leaning towards doing an extension for search to get all the emails into Elasticsearch or Meilisearch.

@GarlicToast @Matty_r , definitely do. With the little money I have, I use this program on 3 machines of mine. The junk mail filter isn't perfect, but actually works compared to Hotmail's junk filter.
