The purpose of this mail library is to provide a portable, efficient
middleware for different kinds of mail access. When using the drivers
interface, the interface is the same for all kinds of mail access,
remote and local mailboxes.
Current implemented drivers are mbox, MH, maildir, POP3, IMAP4rev1
and NNTP.
install maildir(5). This will avoid a conflict with an upcoming
qmail update. This maildir(5) appears at a glance to be a copy of
qmail's anyhow.

From the article from mozillazine.org:
mozilla.org today released upgrades to both Firefox 0.9 (0.9.1) and
Thunderbird 0.7 (0.7.1) to fix some minor bugs present in both
releases. Both releases correct some flaws in the extension system
that some users may have been experiencing, as well as a new icon set
for the navigation toolbar on Windows and Linux in Firefox 0.9.1. All
users of both products should get this upgrade.

Tool for archiving and compressing old email in mailboxes
archivemail is a tool written in Python for archiving and compressing
old email in mailboxes. It can move messages older than the specified
number of days to a separate mbox format mailbox that is compressed
with gzip, or optionally just delete old email.
pkgsrc changes.
* Use USE_INET6.
nail changes.
[10.8] released 6/28/04
* Support for IPv6 is not built by default anymore. There are just too
many hosts on which it doesn't work while the IPv4 functions work
fine. If you have use for IPv6 support and know that it works, enable
it in the Makefile.
* autoconf and automake are no longer used for building. See the file
'INSTALL' which describes the transition of existing build setups.
* The --enable-all-chars configuration option is no longer available. A
run-time nail option variable 'print-all-chars' has been introduced
instead.
* Nail can now handle folders in compressed mbox format. If a file name
given on the command line or with the 'folder', 'copy', and 'save'
commands ends with '.gz' or '.bz2', gzip(1) or bzip2(1) are executed
when reading and writing to it. Likewise, if a folder 'name' does not
exist, but either 'name.gz' or 'name.bz2' are found, the compressed
folder is used. To make use of compressed folders, just compress the
respective mbox format file.
* If the variable SHELL is not set, the default shell is now /bin/sh
instead of csh.
* If the variable EDITOR is not set, the default editor is now 'ed', as
specified by SUSv3.
* Introduced an 'ssl-verify-user@host' variable as an account-specific
variant of 'ssl-verify'.
* Introduced an 'ssl-method-user@host' variable as an account-specific
variant of 'ssl-method'.
rss2email is a simple Python script that lets you subscribe to a

Here are the highlights for this release of Thunderbird:
* Smaller and Faster
The Windows Installer is now only a 5.9MB download. Significant
performance improvements on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X!
* New Themes and Extension Manager
Provides a convenient and secure way to manage and update the many
add-ons that set Thunderbird apart from other e-mail clients.
* Crash Analysis Tools (Talkback)
Help us help you! Integration with Mozilla Talkback allows users to
submit crash reports which makes it easier for us to find Thunderbird
top crashes.
* Other New Features...
New user interface for viewing vCards.
New Profile Manager which also supports running from a USB device.
Color quoting for quoted message parts.
Thunderbird now supports a user interface for creating multiple
identities per e-mail account. This makes it easy to have several
e-mail addresses which end up going into the same account.
* Recently Fixed Bugs
Fix for an occassional hang when reading IMAP mail over SSL.
Our LDAP support works against older version 2 LDAP servers again in
addition to version 3.
Thunderbird can handle mailto urls that contain raw spaces in the
subject.
Other bug fixes too numerous to mention!

New in version 5.30:
- Updated t/recursive.t to work better when there are version control
directories in t/mailboxes/directory.
- Updated t/invalid_mailbox.t to be more robust.
- Fixed a bug in t/invalid_mailbox.t for Solaris.
- -F now works again
- Changed incorrect "-h" to "--help" in two error messages.
- Now correctly handles DOS-style line endings in mailboxes.
- Changed single dates so that they are treated as inferred spans, instead of
a single day. For example "2004" now means "between Jan 1 2004 and Jan 1
2005" instead of "between Jan 1 2004 and Jan 2 2004".
Changes since 1.14:
- More robust use of GNU grep to find emails on DOS systems
- Fixed an uninitialized value warning in Cache.pm
- Made everything work with DOS-style line endings. Added endline() function
to return the detected line ending
- Now keeps reading the first paragraph until a maximum number of bytes have
been read.
* Bugfix: Misplaced myfree() caused a small memory leak.
* Removed the colon (:) from the characters XFORWARD replaces by
a question mark (IPv6 addresses looked like 2001?610?1108?5010?1
in logging).

<https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=mhonarc>
* New resources:
ATTACHMENTDIR Directory to save attachments.
ATTACHMENTURL Web URL to attachment directory.
NEWSURL URL template for linking to newsgroups.
* Attachment filenames have changed from the numeric-style
<ext><#####>.<ext> to <ext><XXXXXXXXXX>.<ext> where <XXXXXXXXXX>
is a random string. The change corresponds with a change to the
API to mhonarc::write_attachment() function in mhmimetypes.pl.
* m2h_text_plain::filter:
. Changed default quoting styles: Left rule changed from 0.1em
to 0.2em and the color changed from #0000FF to #5555EE.
. Minor changes to flowed formatting in order to provide
consistancy with how Mozilla's Gecko engine renders flowed text.
* base64.pl will use MIME::Base64 module if present. MIME::Base64
uses an underly C implementation for decoding, so it is noticably
faster than the pure-Perl approach.
============================================================================
changes:
* 0.9.12
* A session timeout for POP3/SMTP has been implemented.
* The 'Print' menu on the context menu has been restored.
* the value of CACHE_VERSION has been increased to prevent a cache
incompatibility problem on some platforms such as FreeBSD.
