  I lack of time for JMail :-\ I'm very busy with school, plus I'm helping on a great card game, TaroTux.
• 12/16/2003 :
  After a too long wait cause of a lack of time, here is the 0.8.6. version. The translation problem was indeed a lost mail :o
  The next release will be available... when I'll have more time to do it :-\ If someone wants to contribute, don't hesitate !
  The CVS isn't yet updated, but this will be done for the end of the year.
• 09/15/2003 :
  While waiting for the whole translation, I chose to release 0.8.6. (RC2) now, so you can get it earlier ;-)
  List of changes is available, et you'll see by yourself that it was worth waiting.. Please note that mail colorisation is a highly experimental feature and is somewhat buggy, but this will be fixed in 0.8.7
• 09/04/2003 :
  The 0.8.6. release is now imminent...
  I've begun to work on the next one, with the so-long waited local folder/mails support, which will considerably increase JMail's performance :-)
• 08/13/2003 :
  Hmm it seems to be some problems with CVS updates and stuff.. Furthermore, the browsing part is running against the backup server.. Almost everything announced in 0.8.6 is now functionnal, I just got to do some GUI work and the release will be ready.
• 08/08/2003 :
  It is now possible to acces to JMail's CVS : http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=54962
• 08/07/2003 :
  Adding this section so you can know what I'm working on.
  I'm currently working on 0.8.6, which will be a major release... It will have SSL support, signature support, bug fixes, encryption support for passwords...
