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..

Andy :-)
