Right -- I am telling you that the software GNUMail-Aqua was apparently built by its developer to use a feature of Xcode called Jam, and that this feature no longer exists in Snow Leopard's Xcode, therefore you cannot build GNUMail-Aqua in its current form. The port may need to be updated to the current version of GNUMail-Aqua; if it already is, its developers may need to be informed about this problem; if they're no longer developing the software we may need to patch it ourselves in a way like the one shown below.
