Hi Jan

I am currently writing an email client for Ubuntu Phone and I'd love to
work with you on this.
So far I have been using VMime to send emails over SMTP and receive via
POP3/IMAP, but it would be great to work with a mature project like Tojita.

My only concern is that I emailed you in February last year, asking
about the potential to use Trojita on Ubuntu tablets (before the
announcement of Ubuntu Touch) and was told that whilst a touch-friendly
interface was on the todo list, POP3 support would not be added.

You did say, however, that you would be wiling to accept patches for
POP3 support if the contributor was also willing to maintain the patch.
At the time I was not capable of doing so but I would be willing to look
into it again now.

I definitely would like to discuss the idea further

Thanks,
Matt
