Right now you have a hardcoded server, username and password. These require
a recompile for each mailbox you would want to monitor. This definitely
falls into the "manually setting up mailboxes" category. I don't see how you
plan to implement config in such a "super easy" way that it's not similar to
embrace in the end. The only complicated thing about the embrace config is
that it can support multiple monitoring sources, if it were limited to a
single source it's the same case you currently have.
replacing the #defines with ecore_config is less than 10 lines of code
unless I'm forgetting something..
what I want is something that only displays folders with mail, and scans
all folders on the imap. my code doesn't need anything beside username,
password and server address.
I don't really care about pop/mbox/etc .. besides, who uses that crap
these days anyway? ;)
Most people still use POP3 directly or indirectly. ISP's tend to put quota's
on their user accounts, so using IMAP is not an option for long. There are
also a lot of users that use fetchmail to pull their mail from the server,
run it through procmail and then save in mbox format on their local system.
With embrace I monitored 3 accounts (IMAP, POP3 and mbox) and 3 mailing list
mailboxes and the config was not that difficult.
I forward my main address to my local address ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
and then access it through imap..
and besides, I'm doing this to learn.. not to get mail notification up
and running asap..
