VM is a mail reader that runs inside GNU Emacs and XEmacs. It was written as an alternative
to the Emacs RMAIL mail reader. VM is highly configurable and easy to
use. It supports POP and IMAP for mail retrieval, understands MIME, and
reads both the standard UNIX mailbox format and the BABYL format used by
the RMAIL mailer.
VM has been written by Kyle Jones. The last version released
by Kyle was 7.19.
This site exists to continue VM development after version 7.19 as a
community project. Kyle has handed over
VM to me, Robert Widhopf-Fenk.
After finding no time for VM since October 2008, Uday Reddy picked it up
and continued
on https://launchpad.net/vm and
Ulrich Müller created a VM
development team on Launchpad.
If you want to participate, please join on Launchpad.
The current stable series is 8.0.x

Kind of a roadmap is in the TODO file which can be browsed at launchpad, but it eventually will be removed in favor of the bug tracker of launchpad.
Get a the current development branch from Launchpad by "bzr get
