Really nice work, Adenilson! I'm excited about this! =;)

Being that I use a hosted account (Google apps for your domain), I'm
interested in  the first one very much. And being that the second one is an
absolute necessity, I'm interested in that one too. =:)

Can you elaborate on these points? Are they missing because they're not
possible to achieve, or because there's a few simple things that need to be
changed to get them to work, or because there are things that need to change
outside of your code, etc.?

Thanks very much for doing this work! I'm sure this is going to be a major
draw for folks to try out and use KDE PIM! =:)
