Unfortunately I am not a programmer and this seems to surpass my skills.

I am currently at the point where I am trying to understand what is missing to
make a native claws mail built for MacOS happen.

You seem to have run into issues in 2015 while trying to make it possible:

>Current patchset breaks build on other systems,
It's on my TODO list, but I don't have spare time
to fix it right now.

I have troubles understanding how severe these issues were/are. On the one hand
it sounds like not much was missing, on the other hand I see indications that
it may be pretty difficult.

>It might be not so simple, since it depends on gtkosx project,
which has it's own build system where I was planning to integrate
claws-mail into, to make building it trivial.

In addition to your comments I have seen bugs #3664 and #3665, of which bug
#3664 sounds rather discouraging ("impossible").

I understand that. No binary and no gathering of bug reports unless someone can
actually take care of if.

I was happy to see Perry Metzger's comment in May 2015 but realize that it does
not solve the problem. Would it help to maybe approach other developers, e.g.
from the gtkosx project?
