First release of the Mailer project

This project [1] is among the oldest within the DeforaOS graphical applications [2], and it is finally good enough for a release: the first redistributable archive for the mail client is out! [3]

Logically labeled as 0.0.1, it already features:
  • viewing local folders (via the mbox format)
  • support for the POP3 protocol
  • likewise for the IMAP4 protocol
  • sending e-mail via the local mailer
  • a user interface suitable for embedded devices [4]

Unfortunately the codebase is not entirely bug-free, with known usability issues, and some crashes while handling preferences. Still, I believe it can already be useful in a number of cases, and it is very lightweight indeed.

Packaging for various platforms will follow, of course.
