Title: Imap Email Live On Zaurus
Post by: jpmatrix on December 09, 2007, 09:12:02 am
i've just found a great tool with into this blog : isync

http://blogs.terrorware.com/geoff/2006/02/...ail-with-isync/ (http://blogs.terrorware.com/geoff/2006/02/14/backing-up-my-mail-with-isync/)

this enables one to get all emails from an imap server, then you can read them offline on the zaurus.

1- apt-get install isync

2- cd

3- mkdir mail

4- cp /usr/share/doc/isync/examples/isyncrc.sample .isyncrc

5- nano .isyncrc
to customize default imap server, username and password (so you don't need to enter them after)

6- isync -1 -L -M ~/mail -a -s imap.myisp.com

et voila!

now you can read your local email on zaurus with mutt for example

mutt -f ~/mail/INBOX
