We actually lack good OS integration support on all of our
platforms, including MAPI integration on Windows and pulling
S/MIME certificates from OS stores.

But, as others have said, we don't have OS X developers. And OS X
really sucks because it's very difficult to "casually" build
anything on OS X--you need to buy an entire separate computer,
since you can't use it on a VM (on non-mac hardware). Our last
developer on OS X did leave a few years ago, and without paid
developers, we're entirely reliant on volunteers stepping up to do
the job. So if there are no volunteers, nothing can get done.

<p>Exactly the problem with Addon support - if you want to support
Mac users specifically you actually have to buy the hardware.
Linux support on the other hand is very easy for windows users as
there are free virtualbox environments available.</p>
