D_store is an in memory database. A good mental model for d_store is a programmatic spreadsheet; there are rows and rows contain fields with values.

D_store is mostly row oriented, all stores represent either all the rows in the spreadsheet or a subset thereof (or the empty set). The query powers of d_store come from the set operations you can do with stores, like and, or, sub, etc.

Why D_store ?

D_store is good for storing highly related data and performing queries on that data. It can however only scale to the amount of memory available. But, this fits very well for GUI applications that let users interact with a lot of interrelated data; d_store is ment as an enabler of rich applications like iTunes, or addressbooks, or bookmark managers etc.

D_store supports tagging, full text searching, hierarchies, and almost any relation you can define on your data. The API provides very direct access to the data, unlike, for instance SQL engines, but it still has the query power as SQL.

In d_store, all data is stored as values, but every value is stored only once per store, which is good for memory usage. And this is where the second part of the querying power of d_store comes from: every value knows in which rows it appears.

A last powerful concept that d_store has is that everything operates on stores, and the results sets are always stores. So when you get the results of a query, you can query that result again and again, refining the results further and further.

The project is written in plain C and released under the GPL.

Turba is a production level address book, and makes heavy use of the Horde framework to provide integration with IMP and other Horde applications. Turba is the Horde contact management application.
Turba is a complete basic contact management application. SQL, LDAP, IMSP, Kolab, and Horde Preferences backends are available and are well tested. You can define the fields in your address books in a very flexible way, just by changing the config files.
You can import/export from/to Pine, Mulberry, CSV, TSV, and vCard contacts. You can create distribution lists from your addressbooks, which are handled transparently by IMP and other Horde applications. And there are Horde API functions to add and search for contacts.
Additional backends are easy to add - all you need to do is to implement a Turba_Driver subclass that implements a few simple methods and talks to your storage method of choice.
Enhancements:
- vCard support was improved.
- The Catalan, Finnish, German, Portuguese, and Traditional Chinese translations were updated.
- Small bugfixes and improvements were made.

XCmail is a MIME and multi POP3 server capable mailtool for X11 using the Xclasses layout library. XCmail was designed completely object orientated and by this may be improved easily.
The main purpose of XCmail is to read and write mails which may have any kind of data added (attached). For this XCmail can handle MIME types and has so called "helpers" to show different types. And XCmail offers "encoders" which encode and decode binary data into ASCII to allow the transport as mail over the Internet.
The GUI (graphical user interface) was designed to be mostly self explaining but of course there may be some things which are not explaining them self like settings or standard names that are unknown to first users.
The GUI was designed to be as simple as it can be and self explaining. Though, there are a few buttons which are not so easy to understand fo first users because are not standard.
XCmail also offers "encoders" which encode and decode binary data into ASCII to allow the transport via mail over the Internet.
The program works with a local mailbox (eg. /var/spool/mail) and multiple POP3 servers. With POP3 XCmail uses the faster UIDL function of POP3 servers (may be disabled if servers dont support this) and has a so called "UIDL history": If you get mails from your POP3 server but dont want to remove them there and later remove them only locally other mailers will read this mails again. Not XCmail! The UIDL history keeps a history of the mails read from the server so it wont read them again.
XCmail supports multiple mailboxes, has an address book for your favority email addresses and XCmail may start external programs to encode mails or handle MIME types.
XCmail also supportes PGP within PGP MIME (RFC 2015)!
Main features:
- allows the user to add multiple parts on one mail, eg. send files together with a text (called attachment)
- get mails from multiple remote mail servers
- send mails to a remote mail server using simple message transfer protokol (SMTP)
- authenticate on SMTP servers - is sometimes required on SMTP servers to stop spammers from relaying
- authenticate at POP3 server before sending mails via SMTP - this is required by some mail servers if they dont offer SMTP AUTH
- encrypt mails so unwanted persons can not read them
- encrypt complete MIME mails - including the attachments. This is a standard specified in RFC 2015
- send a nice and small picture of yourself with any mail - this is shown if the mail is read
- speedup for POP3
- this avoids XCmail from reading the same mails multiple times from the mail server
- to send files (eg. binaries) with a mail they must be encoded - XCmail offers various encoders, from standard uuencode and base64 to Mac HQX
- because not all attached files are programs XCmail offers an open interface to handle those data - eg. open an external viewer for pictures
- with plugins XCmail may be tuned - eg. some encoders and helpers are plugins so they may not be installed if a users doesnt need them - this required less space on disk and memory
- ever send a mail and later seen that it had some words misspelled? With ISpell this is no longer a problem. ISpell offers checks in many langauges!
- Put extra headers in every mail you send, eg some more information on you or some extra settings for mail agents
- put your favorite recipients in XCmails addressbook
- keeps an second internal addressbook for faster choosing an email recipient
- searches your addressbooks for a matching name or address during you type the recipient
- group different folder to one visible vfolder - for better overview
- Dont understand the language of a mail? XCmail may translate it for you by using altavistas babelfish service!
- You want to archiv many or every mail? This takes a lot of disk space?! Use XCmails folder archiv which compresses archived folders using GZIP standard
- sort or remove your mails before you "must" read them
- put are your favorite addresses in the addressbook
- dont know how to translate a word? use the dictionarys in the Web within the XCmail GUI
- using Spam Bouncer as spam filter plugin
- delete selected mails from your POP3 server
- big mails can be transfered explicitely from your POP3 server
- vCards can be read and a personal or official (from your job) vCard can be sent with every mail (you may choose which of them)
- mails of the incoming folder may be moved to a received folder automatically by many options (after reading, replying, forwarding a mail or if it is some days old)
- helps first time users to setup XCmail
