Will do that as soon as I can make it show up in the menu.

The following code does not make it show up :

static CamelProvider obm_provider = {
    "obm",
    N_("Aliacom O.B.M."),
    N_("For contacts and multi-user calendering"),
    "obm",

    CAMEL_PROVIDER_IS_REMOTE | CAMEL_PROVIDER_IS_SOURCE |
    CAMEL_PROVIDER_SUPPORTS_SSL,

    CAMEL_URL_NEED_USER | CAMEL_URL_NEED_HOST |
    CAMEL_URL_ALLOW_PASSWORD | CAMEL_URL_ALLOW_AUTH,
    obm_conf_entries
};

[...]

void
camel_provider_module_init (void)
{
    obm_provider.object_types[CAMEL_PROVIDER_STORE] = camel_pop3_store_get_type(); 
    obm_provider.authtypes =
	g_list_prepend (NULL, &camel_obm_password_authtype);
    obm_provider.url_hash = obm_url_hash;
    obm_provider.url_equal = obm_url_equal;

    bindtextdomain (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, CONNECTOR_LOCALEDIR);
    obm_provider.translation_domain = GETTEXT_PACKAGE;

    camel_provider_register (&obm_provider);
}
