Oh my. . .!

Yes, setting up a Notes client is a mess. Anyway, don't expect code bloat
to
realize the domino support feature in KMail. The last patch for kmail 1.4.3
(you can find it in attach: does not contain any Lotus/IBM code) is just
3623
lines of code.
The KioNotes  module is made up of just  1507 lines of code.

My only problem is time! I'm able to write just few lines of code per day.
We need to solve licensing problem first, afterr I'll be able to disclose
sources to public: I hope to receive offers for collaboration . . .
Then I'm available to add Domino support to whatever project wants it (but
GNome. . . .;-))

Thanks a lot. Probably it will not contain anything really new for me,
perhaps
it contains exactly the piece of code I'm looking for , let's see. . .

I hope so, but now it's long time we're in trouble. . .

Kind regards,

PS
Here's the actual KMail 1.4.3 + Notes support patch, it works also with
KMail
1.4.7 HEAD branch (I don't have a make_it_cool/kroupware environment, yet.
.
.)
