How about reverting the mail system for the release? I find a working version
with less features better than a version with more features that needs a
prominent warning. I mean, what is a user supposed to do? If they like their
mails they simply can't use the thing at all. If they just want to test a
bleeding edge version, they can just as well use a nightly.

Unless I'm much mistaken all BeOS and Haiku mail application use the standard
mail attributes. So the query support isn't anything the mail daemon is needed
for.
