I wonder if it can be made to interface with MUAs like thunderbird or sylpheed or mutt. Also getmail or fetchmail type functionality. (I am on linux.)

Eh, we want to help you, but given our current ability and time, we may not have enough energy to finish the job. Do you have a certain development foundation, can you join us to help us?

We're sorry.

Hi @maitra ! Nice to see you again! We are some young students and not very familiar with programs and Linux. We can't Google nor GitHub 'getchmail', can you please explain to us what is that? Thank you very much!

My apologies, it should be getmail or fetchmail.

I think doing one example with (say) thunderbird or mutt or sylpheed or something else would be good enough. Just one example with only one of the MUAs or something else.

Eh, if you mean just to make an MUA?Or just an email client?
I think you may get the wrong meaning of this project. This project’s main purpose is to connect with Microsoft Graph API. Maybe we can’t do it now. It will be our next project.
Thank you very much. If you think we got the wrong idea. Please tell us. My apologies.

Sorry, I was thinking of an example to use with sending e-mail using a mail client such as thunderbird or mutt or sylpheed or something else. Another alternative would be to have an example to use with postfix. So basically, if one can use this interface to send e-mail, then it can be used by everyone with their favorite MUA.

I understand that the project's main purpose is to connect with MS Graph API, but it might be better to have a practical value for this connection, such as sending e-mails.
