This program is written by Eggert Ehmke, eggert.ehmke@berlin.de.
|

|
It is distributed under the GNU public license. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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, QTDIR and PATH contain the correct values.
|
|
|
For SuSE these are:
|
|
|
TDEDIR=/opt/kde3
|
|
|
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3
|
|
|
PATH=$TDEDIR/bin:$QTDIR/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.
|
|
|
