I too am a non-programmer-type who loves emacs/org-mode. I second this approach.

Hi, wow, that looks really great, thanks :-)! Do you know by chance if it's possible to link sent mails in threads? I'm using Gmail and all my sent mail is in a folder called INBOX and it would be really great if I could see my own messages in the threads. Geralt.

I have to say in VM's defense that it is working very well for me (and has supported IMAP for a very long time) and there are indeed people working actively it. The old 7.19 version has indeed been frozen for a long time, but I am using the latest versions out of the repo on Launchpad and Savannah
