Just noticed this, so I suppose it answers some things (like why the last checkin of ZimbraEvolution was in 03/07). It doesn't mention why you all decided to drop it though. Let's be serious here. While I think it's incredibly cool to have released the source code, without Zimbra's direct input maintaining the connector, it's basically a death sentence for the project... at the very least it's a hell of a lot harder for anyone outside of Zimbra to create and maintain something like this.

So... Why did you all drop it? Is it a lack of public interest in Evolution? Was it difficult or annoying to write Evo plugins? Is anyone at Zimbra intending to work on this unofficially perhaps?

Sorry if I sound gloomy, but the less attention OSS mail clients get, the less viable they are to replace their commercial competitor(s), which makes them get less attention, etc... it's a bit of a vicious circle.

P.S. Big cheers to esoleyman, who submitted a flurry of patches yesterday (I'd be happy to be completely wrong about all this).
