Hi, everyone. The last couple of weeks, I've been tempted by adding a new dependency to Binc for 1.3. The idea comes from us having to move to a more internationalized system, with CHARSET support in SEARCH and indexed searching in general. It's becoming painful.. We need unicode support. And I'd like Binc to move out of the unix-only area by isolating platform dependencies. Binc IMAP for Windows, that would be very interesting. So I'm thinking about Qt 4 Open Source, definitely influenced by it being what I work with every day.. Qt's core library has support for some very nice container classes, a cross platform file I/O API, threads, plugins and excellent support for translation and unicode. Maybe Qt 4 could bring Binc IMAP up from the simple server position? There are definitely not many open source cross-platform IMAP servers out there. Open for comments..
