This news I take as good news and bad news. 1) its good news as we Could get a decent simple imap client for KDE/Linux
2) Bad news, it will suddenly no longer be a "plain olde Qt" app, and instead something else, making a windows version etc impossible. And this is the only reason I started using it in the first place.. anyway.. lets see what happens, life is exiting.. (need to upgrade from a while ago, means current version if good enough for me) pete
