Nuno,

It looks truly awesome.  I can't wait to try it.

| 
| First, I don't like the idea of storing passwords.  I know, every user
| will want this.  I don't like it.  I wouldn't put it in the code.

I don't see this as a big issue as long as the directory isn't accessable.
The courier webadmin password is stored in a text file :-), Mozilla stores
passwords, etc.

| 
| Second, rather than just a text box for the file to save the messages
| in, I'd rather see it query IMP for a list of available folders, and
| present that as a selection list.  Of course, if a folder was set in
| the preferences, that should be the default folder.  But I'd rather select
| a folder from a list than have to type it in (too many chances for typos,
| etc).
That would be nice.
|  
| Your work looks great, much better than mine.  I look forward to the
| release of your code!

I think most of us do :-)

Thanks,

ed
