[chandler-users] When (release number / probable date) will Chandler support pop3 email servers as a client?!?!?

[Brian Kirsch]

Hi Stephen,
Yes we are in the discussion phase of what a Thunderbird might look  
like.

Your suggestions / questions are excellent. I can't say I have a  
definitive answer to
any of them yet since we have not fully scoped out the design of the  
plugin yet.

I can say that the focus will be on getting data (Mail, Tasks,  
Events, Collections)
from Thunderbird in to the Chandler Hub Server which can then be synced
with a Chandler client and hopefully other tools in the future  
(mobile?).


Stay tuned for more info,
Brian
