  --enable-gpgme          Enable GPGME support
  --disable-pgp           Disable PGP support
  --disable-smime         Disable SMIME support
  --enable-sidebar        Enable Sidebar support
  --enable-compressed     Enable compressed folders support
  --enable-notmuch        Enable NOTMUCH support
  --enable-pop            Enable POP3 support  *****
  --enable-imap           Enable IMAP support
  --enable-nntp           Enable NNTP support
  --enable-smtp           Include internal SMTP relay support
