Thanks for taking time to explain all this !

I still have a question :
months ago OpenERP announced a project to handle mails in a new way
(http://www.erpweb.co.za/blog/2012/11/21/the-future-of-enterprise-emails-in-openerp-7/). 
It was clearly said that first parts will be available in 2014, so we 
are patiently waiting :-)

But some users still need a classical way of handling mail.
It seems logical to integrate a standard webmail in OpenERP because 
there is already contacts, calendars, projects.
(There was a thread on october 2013 about that "Email usability 
improvements")

I would be ready to help develop such a module !
To speed up dev and not reinvent the wheel, I think it could be based on 
RoundCube's webmail. And store in OpenERP only mails associated to 
projects, other mails would be left on IMAP server (dovecot if local server)

My question is :
if we start to develop that module, won't it be obsoleted by OpenERP v8 
or v9 or any future official mail module ?


Regards,

Michel
