Shouldn't be any reason that it isn't.

Relatively so, see <news:oul4riln6li.fsf@ID-97657.usr.dfncis.de> for
one explanation of how to.  It's best to install in a separate

Not sure, but probably not.

Oort is technically alpha software, i.e. it may, potentially be
unstable.  It may do nasty things to your mail.  In practice, I
haven't had any problems at all, but YMMV.
