Yeah, it's a very big deal switching email clients.  But you're  
welcome to help anyway!

Hmm, interesting.  Well, to the extent that we make the app  
RBScriptable, I see no reason not to allow for scheduling those  
scripts to run periodically.  I'd also like to have some built-in  
scheduling for common tasks, like checking mail and exporting all  
data.  (Which I personally would set to 'every 5 minutes' and '2:00  
AM daily' respectively.)  Is that the sort of thing you mean?

Best,
