why would you?<BR>

can install a kde 3.1.1 on win32, which runs in an own XFree window.</I></FONT></PRE>

nice, but this is all way too much overhead imho
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>
<PRE><FONT COLOR="#737373"><I>
i guess the available manpower ( if there is any available... ) is better
invested into getting kmail running. this can be seen as a single task to do,
which will be done, when it is done, and then it would work from a single
code base. when somebody extends mozilla mail or and other mua, then there
will always be two code bases to maintain, which is a bag thing imho...</I></FONT></PRE>

sure, and then make kde run on OSX, which it also does, but also in a non-native environment (X).<BR>

<PRE><FONT COLOR="#737373"><I>in the actual cvs version of the XFree server, there is already a mode, in
which every X window gets an own MS Windows window, so one can get rid of the
big kde-desktop window, so this should look quite nice, when somebody works
on it.</I></FONT></PRE>

nice, but still....<BR>

If you'd get mozilla or rather Thunderbird to do the Kolab stuff, you'd have OSX, Windows and lots of other platforms covered right away.<BR>
Two sourcebases, sure, but lots more platforms too, and no ugly hacks as I see the kde running on platform X with X...<BR>
