| rex 11/04/2004 10:31am | i just try it out and would suggest few things:
- automatically add user to address book when reply - automatically white-listed everyone in the address book |
| rex 11/04/2004 10:59am | one more thing:
make it a truly portable mail system. with a palm/pocketpc/zaurus version i want it this way: - i put iscribe (all version) on a sdcard - i carry iscribe (and all my email) everywhere - i put into my palm/pocketpc/zaurus, i have access to my email (read/send/download/etc) - i put into my notebook card reader, i have access to my email - i put into my linux server, i have access to my email. how wonderfull it would be. a TRULY MOBILE MAIL. nb. if you dont want to code for pocketpc, see nPOP http://www.nakka.com/soft/npop/index_eng.html if your iscribe write the same email format, both can work together... there maybe other mail client in palm/ppc/zaurus that can be make to work with iscribe in a harmony... i wish... |
| fReT 12/04/2004 8:06pm | I'm not planning on supporting any more platforms than I already do. Your ideas about the address book are good though. I already plan to implement them. |
| rex 14/04/2004 8:20am | imho,
you dont need to code for pocketpc version. because, npop is opensource. just make few changes to the code to make both mail programs read/write to the same mailbox file. also, one important thing for a real mobile mail. compression. please have all email file compressed (gzip/bz2) so we can make use of more space... |
| fReT 14/04/2004 8:34am | The mail box format is non-trivial. I don't have enough time to work on my own projects let alone others (I don't get paid enough through online sales to do this full time). And I don't like adding dependencies to my software (like a compression DLL) that adds to the download weight and runtime size.
Sorry... |
| rex 14/04/2004 8:43am | another one:
a built-in smtp engine. because, while i carry my mobile mail and connect at a cyber cafe or a wifi hotspot, i cannot tell what smtp to use. then, i cannot send email there... |
| rex 14/04/2004 8:47am | imho,
if you managed to setup a true mobile mail, i think you can sell them to a lot of flash disk brands to be included in the flashdisk they manufacture. (some brands already include similar prog called flashmail) |
| fReT 14/04/2004 9:11am | built in smtp: great idea. But one I've already had. Unfortunately my ISP blocks the SMTP port outgoing at the moment so I couldn't test it if I wrote it. So I'm just ignoring it and working on bugs I already know about.
flash mail: Nice idea... I'll have to think about it. Maybe contact some manufacturers of flash. |
| rex 14/04/2004 9:50am | i can resell this to some flash manufacturer,
if you can provide an oem version. :) |
| rex 14/04/2004 9:52am | i can help you test the smtp function if you wish...
i believe many others also can do the same. |
| dvgb 03/05/2004 5:59am | Hmm, Aussie ISP blocking SMTP - sounds like optus to me.
If it is you can get this block removed easily: https://myaccount.optusnet.com.au/removemailfilter/ |
| fReT 03/05/2004 6:05am | dvgb: Sweet! That was easy.
Well I'm too busy at the moment but now I can look at this when I get the chance. |
