The most important thing is debug symbols.
make debug=yes

is the general way for all gnustep makefiles, if the specific makefile 
doesn't override things, GNUMail shouldn't.

Remember to "make clean", you want to build everything that way.
Also, remember to rebuild and install Pantomime the same way, if you 
need to debug internal stuff like address encodings, connections and 
such things.

I'm getting mad that apparently GNUMail decides to "save" and "send 
off" empty messages once in a while... I think I replied to you with 
an empty message! Actually, I was seeing it perfectly on the screen.
I have not yet identified what causes this, since of course all tests 
I do go fine...
