Hello everyone, I've made some changes to imaptrope, my IMAP interface [0], to be usable with Thunderbird. A few things :
- You will need Trollop, because it's cool - I don't understand Thunderbird's authentication mechanisms quite well. If you want to use it, set "localhost:10142" as the IMAP server. There's no need for encryption It looks like Thunderbird authenticates itself for each operation. It's a cool thing if your server is remote, but I have a few problems with security (next point) - When asking for authentication methods to a IMAP server, imaptrope answers that it can authenticate with plain text password and cram-md5 encryption. I don't know how the latter works, so it isn't tested ... yet, as soon as Thunderbird sees both, it tries to use cram-md5, but fails and then uses plain authetication. So basically, you have a few seconds to wait before each operation. I suppose you can remove this auth from the CAPABILITY answer. - Communications clearly are suboptimal ... many calls to the same method in heliotrope just for one thing, basically. - You may want to use one client at a time. Overall the server is stateless, save for the session management, but I haven't had time to test its multi-threading capabilities - I still have some encoding errors, with "=0D" at the end of each line... I don't have much time at the moment, but will keep you informed. cya, [0] https://github.com/rakoo/imaptrope -- Matthieu RAKOTOJAONA _______________________________________________ Sup-devel mailing list Sup-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-devel
