I thought there should be an updated version, but this seems to be the
latest one since 12/1999. Maybe development has stopped ?

the core GNOME-system ("October GNOME") is supposed to be very stable,
it's the applications that aren't stable yet.
As I said, there is a new desktop but it may not be as stable and there
are probably no debian-packages, so you will probably want (have) to
use the helixcode installation-software (www.helixcode.com?)
There was announcement for a mail-client on www.gnome.org. actually there
are two, I believe. Search the news-section on www.gnome.org (look for
older news as well). I think they announced some email-clients that are
stable.

No. I don't know any such person.
Don't you think you are paranoid ?
