A new release of Mahogany has been made. Binaries for Linux-x86-glibc2.0 and source are available immediately, binaries for Solaris and Linux-axp as well as RedHat rpm and Debian deb packages are following soon. Announcing Mahogany Version 0.22a ===================================================================== Mahogany is an OpenSource(TM) cross-platform mail and news client. It is available for X11/Unix and MS Windows platforms, supporting a wide range of protocols and standards, including POP3, IMAP and full MIME support. Thanks to its built-in Python interpreter it can be extended far beyond its original functionality. Mahogany's wealth of features and ease of use make it one of the most powerful clients available, providing a consistent and intuitive interface across all supported platforms. It aims at supporting GNOME (and KDE for that matter) and includes an extendable address book system supporting hierarchical organisation of entries, group aliases, searching the database and easy editing, with support for other program`s address database formats. Currently Mahogany`s native format and (X)Emacs` BBDB address books are supported. Mahogany is being developed using the free wxWindows application framework, building on the GTK+ toolkit on Unix. Mahogany is constantly being tested on Linux-x86, Linux-alpha, Solaris-sparc and MS Windows. It should compile and work on any major Unix platform. A binary release for MS Windows will follow soon.
