GREAT!!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I was planning to do that
on my own already.

I'll give it a try tomorrow.

> - Access to multiple mail accounts with either IMAP or POP3.
> - 'mailbox view' to display a list of all mail accounts with the number
>    of new and the total number of mails for every mail account.
>    (For POP3 accounts all mails are displayed as new.)
> - 'mail list view' to display a list of all mails in a mailbox with
>    subject, sender and state/flags of every mail.
> - 'mail view' to display one single mail with subject, sender, date,
>    flags and mail text.
> - Mails encoded in 'quoted-printable' are displayed correctly (tested
>    at least with german umlauts).
> - IMAP/POP3: when displaying a multipart mail, only parts with content-
>    type text are displayed.
> - IMAP: when displaying multipart mails, only parts with content-type
>    text are fetched.
> - IMAP: when a mail is displayed in the 'mail view', the \Seen flag
>    for this mail is set automatically (configurable).
> - Jump to next/previous new (not \Seen) mail in the 'mail list view'
>    and in the 'mail view'.
> - IMAP/POP3: set \Deleted flag for mails in the "mail list view" and
>    the "mail view".
> - Expunge mails with the \Deleted flag set when a mailbox is closed
>    (configurable).
