See COPYING for details. -It is based on the command line tool showmail written by Manfred Haertel, -Manfred.Haertel@rz-online.de. -Kshowmail is a KDE tool to watch mails on a POP3 server. -Headers and complete mails can be viewed without loading them to the -local mail client. Unpleasant mail can be deleted from the server. -The list of displayed mails can be refreshed via configurable timers. -Filters can be assigned to mark known spam for deletion. -Multiple accounts are supported. -A sound can be played if new mail arrives. -A command menu allows user configurable commands like fetchmail or sendmail. -A special command can be defined to send complain mail against spam. + kshowmail - an email viewer for TDE. -The modifications I provided are mainly Qt/KDE stuff to generate a nice -GUI interface. I am using the great development tool kDevelop V2.1. -If you find the tool useful, tell me about it. If you find any bugs or -want some additional features, just give me a hint. As time allows, -I will try to fix them. If you like to translate the language files, -I would be very happy. -With version 0.5 the passwords are stored as scrambled text in the kshowmailrc file. -This is no absolute protection, but at least the password cannot be read as -clear text anymore. If you have old rc files with stored passwords, you must reeenter -them. +Kshowmail display emails from a POP3 email server without actually +downloading them. +The headers or the complete emails can be viewed and unwanted emails can +be deleted. An initial and an interval timer can be set to check the +emails periodical. -With version 2.2.0 large parts of the configuration are stored in the kshowmail.xml file, -together with already loaded headers. The improves the speed of refresh a lot, as only -new headers are loaded again. However, this concept is again imcompatible with the old -rc file. You have to create your accounts again. -Installation: see the INSTALL file and check the following: -make sure the environment variables TDEDIR, TQTDIR and PATH contain the correct values. -For SuSE these are: -TDEDIR=/opt/kde3 -TQTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3 -PATH=$TDEDIR/bin:$TQTDIR/bin:... -If not already installed, you need the kde network include files. Get the -tdenetwork-devel and tdepim-devel rpm packages or the source files. -Known bugs: -The connection to the pop3 server fails, if there is a null password. -Sound gets interrupted sometimes. +FEATURES: +========= -Fixed bugs: -the messages are sorted in a wrong sequence; fixed in 0.2 -the optiondelete.xpm file is not installed via tgz; fixed in 0.2 -some messages are not translated into other languages; fixed in 0.3 -segfaults when working on empty config list; fixed in 0.3 -on some servers the service is called pop-3. fixed in 0.4 by connect via port 110 -the status line is only updated after transfer. fixed in 0.5 by changed event handling -during dialogs or message boxes conflicting timers fixed in 0.5 -password scrambling algorithm problem fixed in 0.5.1 -Endless loop if long messages are displayed fixed in 0.5.2 -kshowmail locks if several messages are shown in sequence fixed in 0.5.2 -Sometimes the toolbar/statusbar get lost fixed in 2.2.0 -If the number of UIDL's in the cache exceedes 200, fixed in 2.2.0; no uidl cache anymore -old mail may be shown as new, if still on the server. we use xml file now -the uidl0 is not found in the cache, even if it exists -If the first account has no new messages, and the -second account can't get connection, -the list is not refreshed. fixed in 2.2.1 -Crash when KDE shutdown fixed in 2.2.2 -The sorting of messages by other columns (size) -does not work.
