Hi. As an avid user of that wonderful email app, Ishmail, I was thrilled to read on Freshmeat that it is now under active development. There is a 1.9.9 release available at http://ishmail.sourceforge.net/ - it is in the form of a tar.gz so needs to be compiled. Ishmail is a Motif app and needs the Motif development libraries to be installed on your system. I tried compiling against lesstif and it didn't work. The maintainer, Evgeny Stambulchik, maintains it should but then I have had little success compiling apps against lesstif.
Fortunately there is now OpenMotif (http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/) and Ishmail compiles cleanly against this. OpenMotif provides Debian packages too. At last I have an up-to-date error-free install of Ishmail. Excellent!! -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
