No, but 3.1.0 does :)

Nope, but it's one of the two most important - the second is libetpan,
for IMAP (and now NNTP[1]) access.

There are other missing elements, like LDAP, jPilot, or things like
that, but they're much less critical in my opinion.

[1] I had to rewrite NNTP using libetpan for two reasons: first because 
    GnuTLS doesn't have the equivalent of SSL_peek() in native mode, 
    which the crappy nntp socket code used to use, and second because
    it allowed easy non-blocking NNTP.
