That has now been released. Please download it from here: https://launchpad.net/vm I am a beginning Org-mode user myself and have an interest in adding features that integrate VM and Org-mode more closely. So, I would welcome participation from the seasoned Org-mode users. This release has an enhanced org-vm.el file in the contrib directory, which you need to use to create links to IMAP mail. (You can copy the file to your org-mode/lisp directory or any other elisp directory on your load-path.) I will be submitting the enhancements to org-mode once VM 8.1.1 is settled into circulation. -- As for using Mutt with Org-mode, I hope you are familiar with this work? http://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2010/02/integrating_Mutt_with_Org-mode/ Cheers, Uday
