[!Readmail] a Rebol mail client

PhilB

[151]
As I am moving ISP's readmail.r will no longer be available at http://www.upnaway.com/~philb/philip/pbmail/
from the end of decemver onwards.


So where would the best place to put readmail.r on a permenant basis?


Any suggestions?  Not many people use it so I dont think its worth 
trying to register a domain name. 

I do have some web space, but if I move ISP's again I will run into 
the same problem.

Have you thought about rebol.org?

Hi Sunada ..... Is there a size limit on scripts?
Sunanda

Not at all -- there is no limit on size
The largest _single_ script so far is Space game -- at 0.25 meg.

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/search.r?find=size+%3E+200000
***

If readmail.r is not a single script (ie it is a collection of scripts 
and files), then we can handle it as a package. Again, no limits 
on size:

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/search.r?filter=type-package
Though many scripts in the Library are just one script file plus 
one documentation file. That doesn't need to be a package:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/cpt-recent-docs.r

The documentation can be in Makedoc or Makedoc2 format (plus some 
other formats too, like Nicomdoc)

I package readmail.r up as a single file (decompressed at runtime), 
it is 143Kb so I woulnt have a problem adding it to the library.

Phil, can readmail be made the default email client so that when 
I click on an email address in AltME it brings up readmail with that 
address in the To: field?
PhilB

Not as far as I am aware .... when I click on an email address it 
brings up an altme window to send an email.
Louis

Hummm. So it does. I asked the wrong question.  What about clicking 
on an email address in a web page?

On Windows XP , you can select a mail client from the internet options, 
but mine only gives me outlookexpress & hotmail.
So you just ned to figue out how to add a new email client to the 
dropdown.

Does it support IMAP?
PhilB

Sorry .... no.
I dont have access to an IMAP server, so it would have been ard to 
develop for.  I have no idea how hard it would be to implement or 
how much reesign would be necessary.
reesign = redesign

well Rebol's imap support is quite incomplete ...

If it can help you, french rebol uses an IMAP server

Gmail is an IMAP server.  Its free.

The answer is, annoying and hard!  We are doing it right now (finally!). 
 
Should be done in about 30 days.
We plan to support Gmail's tags (which are cool).

Gmail doesn't currently support IMAP access. As part of our ongoing 
commitment to give our users easy access to their email, we have 
introduced POP access. We look forward to announcing other new features 
as they become available.

Doh, yes, actually I know that...sorry, we were using POP with Gmail 
as out test....
POP sucks.
Phil if you need an IMAP account on a server to test with, we can 
give you access to the one we set up to test Qtask's new Webmail 
interface.  The account contains lots of examples like large attachments, 
deep folders.  As we learn more, we fill it with ore examples.  Just 
shoot me a private message, and I will get you name and password.

My provider free.fr offers a .. free .. pop/imap server. I can open 
an account for test.
oupss too late ...

One thing I'm focused on is creating lots of examples of problems 
in IMAP.  Special charaters (languages), emails with lots of odd 
things about them.  No return address, etc.

We want to try to come up with every problem.  All info and examples 
are welcome.

Hi! 
Probably a bit offt., but:
Could I use Rebol with Exchange Server 2003?

I read in some earlier mailing list archives that there was some 
problems with authentication standarts...
Reichart

You would REALLY want to upgrade Exchange to the most recent version. 
 A lot has been improved in 6 years.
Pekr
27-Mar-2009

Over 4 years, no? There is Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 is the 
latest. We wanted to upgrade too, but our management thinks otherwise 
:-)
Reichart
27-Mar-2009
[189]
Well, it is 2007 + Service packs that work with 2007....so, I will 
vote this is 6 years...


There are a LOT of holes in 2003, and the new version supports WebDAV, 
iCal, and other "friendly" features...
Janeks

In this case Exchange is not in my side/responsibility :-(
What I found that Rebol could be used with Exchange by using IMAP 
protocol, but only with some authentication methods.
In my case it is NTLM and it it not supported by Rebol.

I have tested ntlm myself personally but not with Exchange but don't 
see why it woudn't work unless Kerberos was the method enforced.

know the results.

These seem to work
open ssl://imap.gmail.com:465
open ssl://smtp.gmail.com:993

open tls://imap.gmail.com:465
open tls://smtp.gmail.com:993
But I can't get any further

I'm not sure how well the IMAP implementation works.
