Now is the time to look at <http://gitorious.org/fetchmail/fetchmail/blobs/master/NEWS#line42>; and speak up if any important feature was abolished. I have not obsoleted features younger than, say, 10 years, yet, so we should have few complaints about 7.0.0-alpha4 over 6.3.24. :) Note that I expect MAPI support to _NOT_ materialize in spite of a Google Summer of Code contribution, due to lack of support from the contributor and the audience.
