Just so everyone is on the same page, the project I'm working on right 
now is to make Chandler act like an IMAP server (I think this is what 
you meant by "The desktop as an IMAP server"?). This will allow dragging 
and dropping of emails and attachments into Chandler, and will enable 
the display of all Chandler e-mail messages within any e-mail client 
supporting IMAP (which is pretty much all of them, AFAIK).

Currently, it's working very well with Thunderbird, and has a couple 
minor issues with the Mac Mail client. I think I'd be ready to put it 
out there for public consumption by sometime today, or tomorrow at the 
latest. While I'm sure it's buggy, it's definitely ready to play with.

While I'm sure this isn't the end of this discussion by a long shot, 
hopefully this will enrich it.
