Title: Alternative Email Client
Post by: chaosteo on December 01, 2004, 07:08:55 am

Hi

I know this has been mentioned few times in this forum and other forums but there seems to be no solution???

I need to access my school email which is using IMAP4 running SSL connection. Whenver I use the email program comes with the Sharp Rom, wifi connection established, and the email application locks up.  Is there another email application with the same functionality and doesn't "crash" like this? (btw, how do you terminate a program when it crashes)

sometimes if it doesn't crash, it just doesn't fetch any email at at. Someone from Carnegie Mellon University helps me out here?  or I will have to run telnet and use PIne...sigh

Details on my school's email setting (http://www.cmu.edu/computing/documentation/email_nonsupported/mail_nonsupport.html)



thank you

Have you considered the KO/PI Mail application? I know it has IMAP capabilities, but I'm not sure about SSL. You could try it: http://pi-sync.net/html/projects.html (http://pi-sync.net/html/projects.html) .

Good luck!

There are links from the pi-sync website here is a direct link the various versions:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ckage_id=112604 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104103&package_id=112604)

Assuming you are running a Sharp based ROM you want to grab this zip file:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kdepimp...pk.zip?download (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kdepimpi/kdepim_1.9.13_for_SharpROM.ipk.zip?download)

You need to install the openssl libraries.  See the discussion
on this forum (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7942&hl=openssl)
