"oserp - stands for OpenSource Emailer Replaces Pine. First goal - replace
pine with an open souce work-alike using perl. Second - add an SQL backend
to Mail::Box, and thus to oserp. Third - Port to C++, using GNU MailUtils
as the backend."

I think the priorities are wrong here; the first thing it needs is a
much snappier name. How about PINP (PINP is not PINE)

I agree, but think spruce would be a better choice;

Source Perl U.. C.. Emailer
Spruce - a Pine/Perl United Compatible Emailer

FIR is also a potential name; Fix It Right!

Any other suggestions?

Spruce is already taken. I used it some years ago. It's (or
was) a GTK+ MUA - http://spruce.sourceforge.net/

I'll second that; and ask this: is it (will it be) ported for Fedora and
cAosity? (There is a pine version for Fedora ; it worked fine -- till I
gave up on Fedora after I bought a flat monitor ...)

Agreed, but I don't thing PINP is snappy. How about
VITOP (Vitop Is To Overcome Pine)? :-)

BTW, as the development tools is Perl, IMHO it will not be a clone of pine
in strict sense. Different development tools wil lead to something quite
different (if successful), maybe much more than pine. :-)

There are other Perl simple email clients, maybe even fully working one.
Maybe should start with those:
Pail <http://pail.sourceforge.net/>
Flail <http://www.flail.org/>
Civilwar <http://sourceforge.net/projects/cwar>

Good luck!
