Re: [ZOPE] Newbie question with POPMail
can anybody explain me how to use POPMail or is there any HowTo? i didn't find anything...
I added some instructions recently: http://www.zope.org/Members/dshaw/POPMailProduct/instructions
You say taht it needs some work before going into production. What is it that it needs exactly? I tried it a while ago and it worked OK but it wasn't as pretty as you mightt want it. If that's it I can probably help. ===== --------------------------- Adrian Esteban Madrid Benson Institute, Webmaster Brigham Young University --------------------------- adrian_esteban@madrid.com =========================== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Well, here are some things that it could support but does not: 1) support for MIME-encoded messages, possibly attachments 2) better support for HTML-encoded messages 3) associating several POP accounts with a single acl_user 4) allowing (configurably) users to create objects without management access 5) better UI (as you mentioned) with more features 6) address book 7) support for replying, CC'ing, BCC'ing, etc. The last two releases made performance pretty good through some caching mechanisms, and fixed most of the incompatibilities with non-compliant POP servers and aggressive browser caching. The things above are what I think we would need to add to make this product a realistic competitor to some of the other open-source tools on the market in this arena. Look at mail.yahoo.com. That is what I would like it to be comparable to. I originally developed this as a proof-of-concept, but it worked well enough that I improved on it some. I should probably revisit it again if I have time, but if anyone else wants to make contributions, please do so! That's what's so great about open-source... - David

I'd love to help with the UI but unfortunately can't help much on the rest. I am getting somewhat acquainted with ZClasses but I don't have a clue about POP3, MIME and all that. Nevertheless, I think this is a great product that could help a lot to Zope on taking the world! ;-) I will download the product and see what I can do with the UI. Let you know later. ===== --------------------------- Adrian Esteban Madrid Benson Institute, Webmaster Brigham Young University --------------------------- adrian_esteban@madrid.com =========================== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
