  I don't know anything about libESTMP.

  About Camel, I see some issues:
  	1. For now, it is tied up with Evolution (I haven't found it as a different
	package, and it does not make sense to install Evo to get Camel ;-)
	
	2. How much is its API frozen? When have to consider that the API can change
	breaking compatibility.

	3. It does not support PGP/MIME. Its support is added in Evo in 
	mail/mail-crypto.c, not in Camel

  And GMime only adds Mime support, not all the stuff that Camel provides.

  Perhaps Jeffrey Stedfast can help us a bit more, as he is really developing Evo
 and is also the author of GMime.
