Keep in mind that there is a massive flower market in Amsterdam that imports flowers from all over the globe for distribution throughout Europe. Yes, I too found that unbelievable - but apparently it's true! Maybe Mark or other CPians in the Netherlands can confirm.
So: Countries in Europe can celebrate any special day with flowers, any day of the year!

Hi,Mother's Day is celebrated on different dates in different countries.
Our Country celebrating on this May 10th.

Mother's Day seems to be some cheap advertising gimmick, just to sell some merchandise.
Every day is Mother's Day.

Giving your mother some nice flowers and a card once a year isn't that bad, is it?
And:
Everyday is Children's day, not Mother's day!

IMHO, this is geography-dependent.
I stayed with my mother till her passing a year ago. So, nothing like flowers and a card once a year; she was with me every day, so what flowers are we talking about. Till her end, she planted flower saplings and grew flowers in our small garden; there were flowers every day - jasmine, rose, petunia, balsam, ipomea, parijata*, nandi-battalu*, etc.
* Local names of these flowers.
I live in the southern part of India, and this situation is quite common here, but changing slowly.

..."How hard can it be to make a compliant email client?"
Well, to put it simply, rather hard.
Still, I am going on with this project to try and make a very useful and compliant email client.
I am using DevExpress WinForms controls, but I am using GeckoFX as the editor and MailKit/MimeKit for the email handling. Using the latter two libraries also gives me PGP encryption/verification/signing at no extra charge, as well as pretty much complete compliance with ALL email related standards, with a number of extensions as well.
I am also using another library from the guy behind {Mail|Mime}Kit that performs standards-compliant verification of email addresses, even those with non-ascii characters in them.
I am also thinking of having an Exchange integration plugin, but I want to know if anyone would use it.
Any other feature suggestions? I am currently planning on:
* Email (Obviously)
* Contacts (Kind of a given)
* Calendar (A plugin)
* Notes (Not too sure)

I have been slowly building components similar to what you described:
- Email
- Contacts
- Calendar
- Chat
- ToDo
- Notes
I'M using WPF. If you're interested, why not collaborate and come up with a really decent client together?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Calendar: personal? group? accept and send invitations? reminders?
|
|
|
|

I was planning on multiple calendars on one account (and pulling in calendars from other places/accounts).
On the invitations, how would those work? Through an email message? Or some other way?

Yep, an item is placed on your calendar; you send an invitation to various people.
When they accept, the entry is placed on THEIR calendar.
It may be a joint meeting with contact information (phone number, place, agenda, etc) or just that you have an appointment and won't be available.
For example, I have a meeting tomorrow; I send the invite to my colleagues, then they can from their calendar where I am (or am not).
I have bi-weekly standing meetings with a group of people; an agenda and call-in number are provided in the invitation.

Ah, OK. I'll look into that.
So the acceptance should send an email back (with content like 'Accepted')?
And a very good (and useful) idea.

Yes, or the recipient can reject or propose a different time.
I'll look at the options in the morning when I'm at work.

I am guessing you use Outlook at work. I have Outlook, so I will toy around with it and see what's what.

There is a standard format for these known (unfortunately - especially in these iThing days) as ICalendar[^]

I think a great feature would be the ability to export the email in csv format, something Outlook doesn't do.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Certainly! I will work on that (likely as a plugin).
I have looked at MailKit and MimeKit, and doing what you suggested shouldn't be too hard with those libraries (man are they powerful).

Actually,
I think that saving an email in as a JSON Object could be incredibly useful.
It would help with automation!
FWIW

And TSV -- for that matter, pick-a-characterSV would be optimum, because I always end up with something screwing up because the separator char is used in the text.

One has always had the ability to "export" Outlook folders to csv ... One message per line / record. You even have control over the output mapping.
I've been doing some folder backups that way since XP; in case I wanted to get at the contents without using Outlook (i.e. via a .PST).
Doing a single message is a bit of a hassle: one needs to copy it to a separate folder first, and then export the folder; but it's still doable.

Nice to see someone else is using MailKit/MimeKit, right at the same time I am. I discovered the project just last week. May I contact you with a question I have on the Smtp client?
