Hi William and others, As Turnsole is a great mail interface, I was thinking about having it generic to multiple servers or mail sources, to fit many use cases.
Explicitely, the Turnsole::Client class ( https://github.com/wmorgan/turnsole/blob/master/lib/turnsole/client.rb) could be turned into a Turnsole::Client module instead, which implements the necessary abstract methods for the interface, and which needs to be included in every client adapters (like DataMapper adapters are working for instance). Built-in Turnsole adapters would be in lib/turnsole/client/. That way, we could easily implement Turnsole adapters for many sources, such as: Heliotrope (for sure, the official adapter), IMAP (direct connection), Gmail (simpler adapter using the IMAP adapter), Maildir/Mbox, NotMuchMail (which is a great Sup-like email back-end), upasfs, etc. The main reason why I'm posting that, is that I really like the Turnsole ncurses based interface, but sometimes I'd like to check emails directly from imap (when not on my computer for instance). I also know that NotMuch is missing a good ncurses-based client (that's why I've Cc'd them). What do you think? Is there limitations I didn't think about? -- Vivien Didelot, vivien.didelot.org
