Sure.  I would have no problem putting out a real Release every 60-90 days,
or even monthly, if we had a basis for them.  Especially now that we have
formal testing in place, rather than relying on ad-hoc testing and a few
production servers.

Yes.  But this is an optional drop-in, so bugs would not effect most
mainstream users, just as bugs in the mbox support would effect few users.

We should get this into SVN, and develop it there, not put it in when
finished.

And this might work better with the next item being done at the same time:

> 3. SMTPHandler chain refactor

Absolutely.  Once 2.3 is out, this would be high on my list, too.  This
would be the major mainstream change that I would want to see happening for
2.4.

Another thing that can be done on the side, without effecting most users,
although the *core* piece --- the mail repository interface --- will be
mainstream.
