It looks like most of what I need is contained in Qtopia's messaging 
API. However, I am developing this as a desktop application.

Before I start digging deeper into Qtopia, can anyone offer a little 
guidance for using just the non-GUI parts of Qtopia's QMail... classes 
together with regular desktop Qt libraries? Is it doable? What's the 
best way, perhaps as a plug-in? I would like to keep in conformance with 
the LGPL license and support all three platforms (Linux/Windows/Mac) if 
possible.

Thank you for any help.
