In general, looks good. I'm unsure about including POP3 or the mail dispatcher 
agent, I don't think there's enough time for it, I would rather see the 
composer done properly. It would be nice if the GUI component base could be 
shared with KNode, since there's no reason that KNode has its own composer 
GUI. With Mailody, we probably only want to share the builder.

So I would propose to take out the POP3 and probably the mail dispatcher 
agent, and focus more on KNode and Mailody as optional goals. As you have the 
reader stuff as optional in there as well, we won't run out of things to work 
on.

Otherwise, nice proposal, I keep my fingers crossed for you being accepted.

Regards,
Thomas
