[Design] Your favourite IMAP client?

[Lisa Dusseault]

An IETFer/friend today asked for a feature related to this.  He uses 
Mozilla mail and is happy with it but he needs a calendaring 
application/client.  He has downloaded Chandler but found it extremely 
large to download considering he only wanted calendaring.  His feature 
request, therefore, was to make Chandler more modular so that one could 
get only the calendar parcel and *not* the email parcel.

Even if we decide that the design ties  calendar and email together too 
tightly to separate them, we do need to figure out how Chandler could 
work well for people who do not want to see their email appear in 
Chandler.  How would item-level sharing of Calendar events work for 
those people?
