That's true.  For more than a year, Robert Widhopf-Fenk has been
silent. Does anyone know whether he is still around maintaining VM?  I
begin to doubt one should still expect VM-8.1 to see the light.

As less and less people are using VM, I wonder whether it's time to
consider switching to another Emacs mail reader.  This poses at least
two questions:

 - Which one did should one choose: Wanderlust, Mew, Gnus, MH-E, etc.?
 - Is there some kind of an automatic procedure to move our mailbox from
   VM to this other mail reader?
