1 | Issues regarding Mailit | ||
2 | ----------------------- | ||
3 | |||
4 | Mailit is still in development and is lacking some | ||
5 | features to make it completely usable. Listed below are the | ||
6 | most important issues. | ||
7 | |||
8 | Due to the development status, numerous messages are passed too | ||
9 | the console during usage of the program. | ||
10 | No messages are deleted from the POP server after retrival. | ||
11 | |||
12 | Synchronization: | ||
13 | --------------------- | ||
14 | Works by comparing the last known size of the mailbox on the server | ||
15 | to the current size. | ||
16 | Possible problem: If a popserver shuffles the order of the mails | ||
17 | when it receives a new mail, mailit won't know since it only uses | ||
18 | the messagecount as a reference. If this occurs, turn sync off in | ||
19 | the account settings. | ||
20 | Haven't encountered this problem on the currently tested servers, | ||
21 | but if it turns out that several servers do this, it will be resolved. | ||
22 | |||
23 | Mail parsing | ||
24 | ------------ | ||
25 | Parsing of MIME-encoded email works for all currently tested cases. | ||
26 | BASE64 decoding works. | ||
27 | Attatchments are saved in the enclosure subdirectory of qtmail | ||
28 | (in the Documents directory). You can install the files to the documents | ||
29 | folder (creates a doclnk) | ||
30 | Adding enclosures is limited to the preselected directories, and they | ||
31 | are not really correct at the moment (trivial issue awaiting decision | ||
32 | of fileplacements in QPE) | ||
33 | attatched pictures will be displayed (jpg dependant on qte compilation) | ||
34 | |||
35 | |||
36 | SMTP | ||
37 | ---- | ||
38 | The SMTP-client now supports attatchments, but it's not completly done. | ||
39 | Encoding works, but it doesn't examine the file to check what type of | ||
40 | file you are attatching. In other words, if it doesn't know that you | ||
41 | are attatching a picture, the mime setting for content type could be | ||
42 | wrong. Mail clients with inline viewing of pictures (like hotmail) could | ||
43 | have a problem with displaying the mail correctly. | ||
44 | (Should be fixed soon) | ||
45 | |||
46 | You can now have multiple recipients. | ||
47 | |||
48 | |||
49 | POP | ||
50 | --- | ||
51 | The popclient connects to the all accounts in turn, downloads all headers | ||
52 | and emails smaller than 2000 bytes. After its done, it reconnects | ||
53 | and downloads the mails that were too big (> 2000) | ||
54 | The to-be-downloaded mails are sorted according to size. If you view | ||
55 | a mail, it is shifted to the front of the queue. Deleting a mail(header) | ||
56 | while the download is in progress will remove it from the queue of | ||
57 | mails to download (except if the mail is currently in transfer) | ||
58 | You may exit mailit during a transfer of mails/headers. Next time | ||
59 | you reconnect to the same server it will continue downloading from | ||
60 | where it left off. | ||
61 | |||
62 | You can now choose between getting mail from only one account or all. | ||
63 | The get all option is just added and not fully testet yet. Get from | ||
64 | a single account should work fine. The current way of downloading | ||
65 | does not work well without sync turned on if you keep old mails in | ||
66 | the inbox. | ||
67 | |||
68 | Experienced some problems with servers reporting mail size less and | ||
69 | bigger than actual size. Don't know whats causing this yet, but I | ||
70 | have added a workaround. It now scans the mail for endofmail | ||
71 | definition ("\r\n.\r\n"), disregarding size. | ||
72 | |||
73 | |||
74 | Saving/Retrieving mail | ||
75 | ---------------------- | ||
76 | The inbox is saved and retrieved. Any mail not sent from the outbox | ||
77 | is not saved (will of course be added) | ||
78 | |||
79 | Miscelaneous issues | ||
80 | ------------------- | ||
81 | Numerous cosmetic changes, including icons (which are temporary) | ||
82 | |||
83 | Very little error checking is done on usertyped variables. | ||
