0.0.9 is up and fixes some critical bugs
  • theres a desktop launcher now
  • it doesnt immediately crash on startup...
  • certain stupid IMAP servers work now, by ignoring size errors

one should be able to install, set up a new account, and use it, all from the gui.
some quick notes:
  • the config GUI writes to a config file: /home/user/.secrets
  • 'name' is the NICKNAME for the account. it is NOT your real name or email address. it must be ONLY numbers and letters, NO SPACES.
    e.g.: 'WorkGmail' or 'acc1' or 'G'
    you cannot change it with the gui. {to change it, you must change ~/.secrets and then do: mv ~/.cache/email/OLD_NAME ~/.cache/email/NEW_NAME}
  • username is usually your full email address
  • password is STORED IN PLAINTEXT. sorry about that.
  • server, port, smtp_port, and smtp_server are what they are for any email client
  • 'ssl' should be 'true'
  • 'sent' is the name of the folder that you usually keep sent messages in. on gmail, the default is '[Gmail]/Sent Mail'. for most others, it is merely 'Sent'
  • the 'submit' button DOES IN FACT WORK. it just doesnt clear the screen or go back or anything when its done. hit submit, hit back, and you should immediately see the account.
  • the first update takes about 30s for every 10,000 messages. zero-email updates take about 3s

Tested and work good.
Just need a part to attach files and send with email. Even in typing the directory.

If i receive one email with attached file 15,2 Mo I have an error. Can't see email why? In gui.

I try with attached file 40 Ko it works saved in /home/user/ directory.

thanks for the bug report, found and fixed.

its because MIME::Parser is using /tmp to parse the files and obviously runs out of space with any file more than a few KiB. even better, when it fails, it doesnt clean up the space it already used so you have to do that yourself or reboot.

using /var/tmp fixes it

EDIT: if you want a fix right now, edit /opt/qtemail/bin/email.pl as root and change /tmp => /var/tmp {line 398}

/tmp bug is fixed and released in 0.1.0, along with another bug in 0.0.9 that made sending broken in the GUI.

also, there is now a file-browser GUI for adding attachments in compose. its, shall we say, not beautiful.

the config window now explains what the fields are.

version 1.0.0

this now has all the features i wanted; text-copy, quick-filter, editing-sent-message, full command-line-interface, user-editable-text-config. its far from a polished product, though, so watch out

changelog:
  • Copy body text to clipboard
  • Word-wrap email bodies
  • Use one icon set in both desktop UI and harmattan UI
  • Add explicit zoom buttons in addition to pinch
  • Add header to body view
  • Add preferHtml config
  • CLI: --cache-all-bodies, improve body caching output

version 1.2

i officially switched to qtemail for my DESKTOP email.
it starts faster than thunderbird, its faster to go through many emails, and the emails live on disk in a way thats easier to do incremental backup, especially on cloud storage.

so qtemail is way more desktop friendly than it was. that being said, its not a fully-featured desktop mail client, and its far from polished.

changelog:
  • Display more headers using list-view if width > 700px (e.g.: landscape)
  • Massive update to desktop UI (e.g.: multiple screens open at once)
  • Add updateInterval config for auto-updating in the GUI
  • Add more powerful searching
    (subject/from/to/body regexes, read/unread, all/any lists)
  • Custom email filter buttons using search strings in config
    e.g.: email.GMAIL.filters = mary=%All(From~mary, read=false)%
  • Show filtered-message count
  • Add bodyCacheMode to control what gets cached (all, unread, none)
  • Make success/failure sent-notifications stay until dismissed
  • Explicitly include UID in body display
  • Large style/ui fixes (especially body view), bug fixes
