Mail And Stuff

[bam]

so I got PINE to work remotely to see my mail, but I would like to download all my mail off the server then use pine to read it, also if I write something in PINE it would be sent to the program handling download and upload of my mail(that way I can run it and itll send my outgoing email and download my next email(s)

any ideas or suggestions on what program I could use and how to get all of this configured?

Well, not pine- but mutt-based:
Chapter "Email" on [a href=\"http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/zaurus/zps]http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/zaurus/zps[/url]

Some day I'll make an IPK :-)

Hey Bam... I prefer Pine over Mutt too, so if you get pine working/compiled for the Zaurus I'm interested too.

actually someone made a pine ipk here in the forums, works very fast for remote connections, but I want to download my emails for later viewing and then reply, where it would be held in queue until I get a net connection then I would use network helper to run a script to send queued emails and get new ones....you get the idea...

I've never used Email on a Zaurus.
Don't most Email programs keep your downloaded Emails in your inbox, where you can either reply now or later, save to another folder, or delete/save forever?
I just assumed they are like outlook express. I have Sharp mail installed on my Z for now.
I keep all my registration mails for forums, ect in a seperate folder in outlook express on my PC

[bam]

yea, I have my mail server but pine actually opens them 'remotely' so does ompi and the stock sharp mail app. actually I am impressed with the speed of pine, if MUTT has the same speed then I will use that, provided I can figure out how to get the emails downloaded and readable by mutt, then use mutt to write the email, then when I connect to the net sync up my outbox/inbox in the background.

Daniel, how bout providing the compiled apps you are using for your mail? In a zip file perhaps? I probably can see if I can get a nice ipk built for it.

ahhh... try offlineimap. There's a thread where myself and someone else talk about it.

you could always use fetchmail and procmail to download the mail into local mboxes.  If you search some of my posts you might find the one where I found the ipks on a japanese site (or just google for it).

I find that offlineimap barfs on 1meg+ sized email. How is fetchmail at handling larger email?

[bluedevils]

I'll have to get back to you on that one, but I don't remember any barfing.....

fetchmail works well, but my version of procmail keeps telling me it cant chdir to /hdd2/mail directory, any ideas? fetchmail seems to work, if I can get a nice mail filter going then figure how to send pine's queued emails then this will be good.

hm, my fetchmail / procmail setup works fine here. So it can't be a general procmail problem. Have you tried another location than hdd2? I have used hdd3 for a while, now I use /mnt/card/Documents without any problems.

Do you know of a way to route the mail around /var/spool/mail/zaurus?
I had to create it, but I'd rather avoid it. Some direct pipe between fetchmail and procmail would be good.

[bam]

not sure maybe pipe the output? also getting a socket error now code 2, any ideas...?

[bam]

solved, at least for the combo of pine/procmail/fetchmail, off to msmtp..

Good job.
When you get everything working, maybe you could post a how-to on The Grinder, or somewhere.
