I've had my first success running kube yesterday, after I realised that it needs 
Kirigami and not Kirigami*2* which is what you get if you install that package 
from git/master ... I could set up my gmail account, got the folder list, but 
never saw a single message though apparently at least part of them was 
downloaded when I quit kube (about 1/6th).

The Mac build doesn't run because OS X tends to record full rpaths in shared 
libraries, not just where libraries should be looked for, but also for libraries 
where they should be loaded from (the so-called "id"). And that information 
isn't consistent in the shared libraries stored under Qt's QML dir: they contain 
rpath information to the standard library location (/opt/local/lib in my case).

Maybe they ought to be built as "modules" (CMake terminology) but then you 
cannot use them anymore to link against. The best way would be to figure out how 
to record the correct rpath information. This can be done post-hoc with a 
special editing tool but there are a few too many of those libraries that each 
depend on a few too many siblings to make this appealing even for testing 
purposes.

And there's something else that's a real blocker for me if confirmed: I saw that 
email passwords are stored in clear in multiple files. I'm afraid I won't be 
using Kube as long as that cannot be avoided.

And to be honest, I'm also not particularly interested in an email client that 
caches the full email collection locally, and would do so even for email I 
archive myself using a local IMAP server. I quit using Apple's Mail.app for that 
same reason. Maybe I missed a configuration dialog somewhere that allows to 
configure this kind of detail?
