IMPORTANT --------- For this plugin to work properly, you need the latest snapshot of jpilot, see http://jpilot.org/snapshot. The latest debian package (version 0.99-4) does NOT work, mail will not get deleted on sync, instead you may get the message 'PC file corrupt'. This version is preliminary. The last months, I rarely worked on it, the main reason was that I did not get mail deleted from Outbox. Now that I found it, I will try to include all those patches that people sent. INTRODUCTION ------------ jpilot-Mail is a plugin for jpilot (http://jpilot.linuxbox.com) which enables you to deliver mail that was written on your pilot and upload mail that you received to your pilot. jpilot-Mail sends mails via SMTP. This code was directly recycled from my other GNU software project, masqmail potential problems: ------------------- jpilot-Mail uses a file ~/.jpilot/.mailids to identify mnessages that it has already seen, so that it does not read mails from your mailbox folder again. If you delete a mail in your pilot database, it will net be read again from the folder, because its mail id has already been seen. This is only a problem if you want that mail *again*, in this case find its message id in ~/.jpilot/.mailids and delete it. It may also cause problems if you switch between mailbox folders, because mail ids not seen in the folder will be deleted from ~/.jpilot/.mailids. If you used folder A, then use folder B and back again folder to A, the messages from folder A will be read again. Sorry, but all this would be much easier if I found a better way to identify the messages. installation ------------ is described in INSTALL. PLEASE READ THAT C A R E F U L L Y BEFORE YOU ask me what to do. Thanks. bugs ---- are certainly there. Send them to me to get rid of them.
