Well, I actually rebooted now and had a look. Basically its
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fubar so I don't think I should...
What I did was simply to search/replace for everything looking like a
linux path. I pointed these to a "pskmaildir" in the same directory.
There I created something resembling what should be found in .pskmail.
I then started working from the top to fix errors, I then ended up in a
state where it didn't crash but did nothing...
Thats the point where I kind of figured it could be made to work, if
only enough programmer hours was thrown at it...

I agree.

I guess we can list the requirements and make a choice. Cross platform
is one and I prefer a real IDE where debugging is supported (setting
breakpoints, checking variables current values with only a mouse over
etc). I like java but I do not like the layout managers... I like c# but
I don't know what the status is with monodevelop etc. I like lazarus...

There we agree :-)
