Before being distracted again, the impression I got from reading Anjal was
that to integrate with it, you needed to understand evolution-data-server
and camel. Anjal itself seems to be a relatively thin message/folder
viewer and composer, with the details hidden behind camel. So the next
step, I felt, would be to see whether you could write a notmuch data store
for evolution.
