I guess you're talking about https://github.com/rakoo/imaptrope. This was actually the only reason why I didn't use heliotrope/turnsole (and sup before it) full-time : I didn't want to do some gymnastics back and forth for my mail, like everyone here. That's why I started imaptrope. Unfortunately, I arrived to a point where using http doesn't give me sufficient speed for the task. So I set out to integrate it directly in heliotrope. The result of my work is at https://github.com/rakoo/heliotrope/tree/imap. You can now run an imap server along the http one with the following command : ruby -Ilib bin/heliotrope-server -d /path/to/data --with-imap and connect to it on localhost:10142. As I explain in the README, the goal is not to do a fully functional IMAP server, but just enough bits to work with OfflineIMAP. This software does a great job, and will be a very helpful tool for a smooth transition. This will be better than reimplementing some 2-way-syncing-magic once again. For the moment, heliotrope -> maildir works with a standard offlineimap installation. Yay ! Don't do it on big mailboxes though, because it will be horribly long (and by big I mean 100 messages. Yes, that's not big, I'm working on it) It is saddening to see that many people are interested in this great project yet seems to be dying. I was thinking this may be due to William abandoning sup in favor of heliotrope, and everyone still following the former ? Anyway, I'll be happily hacking on heliotrope, so everyone who is willing to continue is warmly invited to test things out ! -- Matthieu RAKOTOJAONA _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
