Those spoolfile and folder values look a little funny to me. I think
they should be something like

set spoolfile=imap://127.0.0.1/INBOX
set record=imap://127.0.0.1/INBOX.Trash

(Assuming you're running Freemail locally, or have a local ssh tunnel
to it. You can't use other ip-addresses because Freemail by default
binds only to 127.0.0.1, as set in it's "globalconfig" file. For good
reason! :p)

(You also probably need to set smtp_url.)

One way might be to have a spider, or person, collect vcard or any
other kind of information from freesites / freetalk/fms forums / etc,
and then make a freesite-directory :).

There are 2.5 current independent forum systems in the wild. FMS,
Freetalk and Frost. They work well. (FMS the best. /me ducks/ :).

Good idea. In the meantime, you can run "netstat -pna | grep java",
assuming Freenet is the only java app running.
