[Kde-pim] gsoc project: akonadi for pop3 and smtp

[Constantin Berzan]

Hi,

KMail nowadays uses ioslaves for pop3 and smtp.  I am considering developing 
akonadi resources for pop3 and smtp, and porting kmail to use them, as a GSoC 
project.  The akonadi resources will be based on the code in kio_pop3 and 
kio_smtp.

First off, please holler if someone is already working on this.  I know someone 
is doing the "Akonadi Resource for KMail local folders" project and I am not 
sure whether they intersect.

Some questions:
* What do you think about the scope of such a project?  Is it too little / too 
much to do in one summer?
* Are there any obstacles that I might be overlooking?  From what I've read 
about akonadi, it should be able to handle pop3, but I have my doubts about 
smtp.  A write-only resource?

Thanks for any feedback.
