Listed below are the -most important issues. - -Due to the development status, numerous messages are passed too -the console during usage of the program. -No messages are deleted from the POP server after retrival. - -Synchronization: ---------------------- -Works by comparing the last known size of the mailbox on the server -to the current size. -Possible problem: If a popserver shuffles the order of the mails -when it receives a new mail, mailit won't know since it only uses -the messagecount as a reference. If this occurs, turn sync off in -the account settings. -Haven't encountered this problem on the currently tested servers, -but if it turns out that several servers do this, it will be resolved. - -Mail parsing ------------- -Parsing of MIME-encoded email works for all currently tested cases. -BASE64 decoding works. -Attatchments are saved in the enclosure subdirectory of qtmail -(in the Documents directory). You can install the files to the documents -folder (creates a doclnk) -Adding enclosures is limited to the preselected directories, and they -are not really correct at the moment (trivial issue awaiting decision -of fileplacements in QPE) -attatched pictures will be displayed (jpg dependant on qte compilation) - - -SMTP ----- -The SMTP-client now supports attatchments, but it's not completly done. -Encoding works, but it doesn't examine the file to check what type of -file you are attatching. In other words, if it doesn't know that you -are attatching a picture, the mime setting for content type could be -wrong. Mail clients with inline viewing of pictures (like hotmail) could -have a problem with displaying the mail correctly. -(Should be fixed soon) - -You can now have multiple recipients. - - -POP ---- -The popclient connects to the all accounts in turn, downloads all headers -and emails smaller than 2000 bytes. After its done, it reconnects -and downloads the mails that were too big (> 2000) -The to-be-downloaded mails are sorted according to size. If you view -a mail, it is shifted to the front of the queue. Deleting a mail(header) -while the download is in progress will remove it from the queue of -mails to download (except if the mail is currently in transfer) -You may exit mailit during a transfer of mails/headers. Next time -you reconnect to the same server it will continue downloading from -where it left off. - -You can now choose between getting mail from only one account or all. -The get all option is just added and not fully testet yet. Get from -a single account should work fine. The current way of downloading -does not work well without sync turned on if you keep old mails in -the inbox. - -Experienced some problems with servers reporting mail size less and -bigger than actual size. Don't know whats causing this yet, but I -have added a workaround. It now scans the mail for endofmail -definition ("\r\n.\r\n"), disregarding size. - - -Saving/Retrieving mail ----------------------- -The inbox is saved and retrieved. Any mail not sent from the outbox -is not saved (will of course be added) - -Miscelaneous issues -------------------- -Numerous cosmetic changes, including icons (which are temporary) - -Very little error checking is done on usertyped variables. |
