most of these tools were written without any thought put to interoperability, 
really. and most importantly, most of these tools do not have syncronization 
issues and/or the requirement to allow fast random access.

in the case of mutt it's a bit simpler since mutt figures that just mutt is 
dealing with the data. in kde we have kmail, korganizer, kalarmd, kopete, 
kaddressbook, etc, etc, etc... it's a much more complex environment.
