Elmo
Elmo is a fictional character on the Sesame Street television show. He is a furry red Muppet with googly eyes and an orange nose. He now hosts the last segment on Sesame Street, called Elmo's World, which is aimed at toddlers. He is accompanied by his goldfish, Dorothy, and a silent Charlie Chaplin-like character named Mr. Noodle.
Elmo has been performed, since 1985, by Kevin Clash. The character is supposed to be about three and a half years old, and speaks of himself in the third person.
A popular doll called the Tickle Me Elmo was manufactured in his likeness, and became the must have toy during Christmas in 1996.
Elmo also routinely appeared on the Rosie O'Donnell show, and starred in a full length motion picture entitled Elmo in Grouchland.

- SMTP support
- POP3 support
- Address book
- Colors
- Threads
- Keymaps and Hooks
- maildir and (partial) mbox support
- Bayesian mail filter
