Just two things: - It isn't a good idea to add this to jEdit. There are WAAYYY more important things to work on. Maybe I am wrong but I would try and use jedit-users to take a vote to see if anyone would actually use this. No offense or anything but it really isn't suited to be an e-mail client. It will never be able to compete with Netscape/Evolution/etc. - Don't use net.sourceforge.mkejzar.pop3... use JavaMail. Once you write to the JavaMail API you get POP3/IMAP/LDAP/NNTP all for FREE. No more coding :)... so if you insist on doing this :)... use JavaMail. Kevin Matija Kejzar wrote: > > Hi. > > JMail will (hopefully) someday be a full-featured email client for jEdit.
