First of all, I just want to say that I love this interface. I haven't been as excited about an open source webmail effort in a very long time. I'm testing some extensions and wanted to know if there was already work underway to address these efforts.

There are a few things that I would like to add to this as optional facilities that anyone wishing to deploy this in their environment could do through the main.inc.php settings.

First, I'd like to add RSS feed capabilities similar to what Thunderbird already offers.

Second, I'd like to add blog support that lets you use the webmail interface to post stuff to your blog.

Third, I'd like to see IM presence enabled to let users know if any of their contacts are online as they are reading their e-mail and give them a quick access to initiating an IM session directly from their e-mail.

I've been thinking about an rss reader too. I haven't started working on one yet, but I have been working on a poc plugin system. Along the lines of drop a subdirectory into a dir called plugins, and it automatically shows up in the main interface.

So far my ideas for it have all involved basically a seperate part of the app. Your idea for IM presence blows that out of the water. I'd like to hear more of your ideas for it. I'd like the plugin system to really be useful for everybody, and it's important to me that it's done at least half right to begin with.
