Depending on what libraries and runtime components beside Qt you need for your application this project scales from an easy recompile to porting several libraries including their transitive dependencies. The first questions that I would ask myself are:
* Does the app work with Qt5? Genode still has Qt4 support but is migrating to Qt5, which means better future prospects.
* Which libraries does the app use for POP3/IMAP/SMTP/other protocols?
* Are there further dependencies to solve like used runtime tools for mail retrieval/sending?
After that step come back to the mailing list and ask specific questions about problems you experienced. Please don't expect the developers on the list to design a holistic solution for your project.
A last remark from me: Please stay on the list for discussing Genode development. This way, you have a much broader audience that may find a solution for your issues. Directly addressing specific developers should be an exception (limited to invitation by the devs themselves).
Regards and happy hacking
