Doesn't look too bad. Haven't tried it.

Avoid avoid avoid. At least until these guys figure out automake, configure,
and the like. Their default makefile needs a bit of customization.

Oh but it's painful. Big bloated outlookish app. Not at all what I need or
want. The camel libiary is still far from useful. 

Couple others you might want to look at are Spruce and Balsa. Spruce has
definite posiblities. (I think one of the Evolution [maybe former]
developers wrote it. The mail libiary is alot simpler than Evolutions and
the client is quite stable and usable. IMAP support leaves a bit to be
desired though.  Pretty good otherwise.

Balsa is ok, but there are definitly better mailers. Balsa uses libmutt.
libmutt is on bad crack. Maybe someday I'll learn enough C to write my own
client. By that time something that does everything I want will probally be
out though. ;)
