Discussing it here is fine.

Would you consider writing a patch?
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/savane-cleanup.git/tree/frontend/php

I recommend use 'make' there:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/savane-cleanup.git/tree/tests/minimal_configs
then use http://localhost:50080/ and check /tmp/savane-mini/mailbox
