Right now meli works as a part of a mail software stack, I personally
use msmtp and offlineimap. I'd like to have both options though, because
not everyone might want to setup a lot of stuff just to send e-mail; it
should just work.

It isn't exactly a project target, but the plugin and hook interface I
plan on adding eventually should make this possible.

A thought I have had is to create a common programmable interface for
apps like that. :) ie to have every app be able to query other app data
and writing how you want to view the data in a TUI with scripts.
