I just released Mailody Release Candidate 1. What has changed since beta 1:
- Use the fancy dates, similar to KMail
- Select all messages added
- Size column added to headerview
- Almost complete Apidox documentation
- Better attachment handling
- Possibility to view messages in a fixed font
- Possibility to print a message
- Threading
- Zoom in / Zoom out
- Middle click opens a message in a new tab
- Hyperlinks and mailtos are now clickable, also in plain text mode
- In-reply-to header is now send
- Warnings when SSL/TLS is not possible, instead of silently doing nothing
- Honour Reply-to header, so replies to mailinglists are now handled better
- Fix refresh mailbox list
- Possibility to mark all messages as read for a folder
- Make it possible to connect to a custom port number
- Autocompletion now works on all known email addresses
- Possibility to Add to KDE addressbook from the composer
- Left click on an email address in the mainview opens the composer
- KWallet is no longer needed, if you don’t like KWallet, you will be prompted for a password
- New mail notification
- Labeling of messages is now prettier
- Prevent auto-logout by sending a NOOP every 25 minutes
- Faster loading of the Composer due to reading the Addressbook after Composer is shown
- Switched to a different socket handler, improves stability when changing servers
- Implement left/right to browse through the headers, up/down scrolls the message
- Dozens of small bugfixes / small improvements, not all visible stuff.
There are already Ubuntu Edgy packages available (but they should work on Debian testing/unstable and Ubuntu Dapper). Also there is a git for Gentoo!

ps. Dovecot users: please wait for rc2
Is your plan to eventually replace KMail with Mailody? If so, I would suggest that you keep Mailody’s code clean and easy to understand so that bugs can be fixed quickly and so that other developers can expand Mailody. In other words, I hope it won’t become another mess like KMail…
As i’ve not had any education in c++, it is pretty straight forward. It will not replace KMail. It is just another mail client ;-)
Are you using the mail storage backend thats mostly done for kde4 called something like anakondi ?
If not, what kind of mail storage are you using?
KMail is just a little slow entering a 15000 mail folder (but most of that is due to Qt3 not having MVC widgets) would your way of doing things scale up?
Off topic, but why does every single entry in your blog appear two times in PlanetKDE? This happens already since some time….
Mailody is Qt3, I will probably support Akonadi when I switch to Qt4. The messages are stored locally in a sqlite database. Entering a 8000 messages mailbox takes a second of four on my machine. Which is around the same time with KMail for me.
I don’t know why that is. On http://planet.kde.nl and on planet kubuntu it is not appearing double and I dont see an obvious error in the feed. I tried talking to planetkde maintainer, but there was no interest to look at it.
