Glad to hear all is well!

That would be cool; adds some visibility and makes it easy for people
to do pull requests and file issues through an interface familiar to
most.

There have been some pain points with Sylpheed for me that I considered
trying to address but I was unsure if the project was stil alive. So
maybe I'll see if I can work on them now that it's clear the project is
still alive:

 - OAuth support
 - S/MIME support (at least for reading non-encrypted messages)
 - high/mixed DPI issues on Windows
 - column resizing behaviour so you don't get horiz. scroll bars all
   the time
