Two things here.

1. This indicates confusion between features and architecture.

The key point is to respond to needs not what others have done to resolve
their issues or targeted features.

2. What is the point for us to duplicate what others have already done?

The key purpose of Pskmail was to provide a free and open source solution
with specific features.

I can produce a long list of features that Pskmail provides and that other
solutions don't and these features are important to me and the community
and that is what counts for me.

Remember, additions to the development team are welcomed.
