    Hi,

 



    I am the original author of Email 
application.  I agree your opinions. And I'd like to give some 
explanation. 



 



    For absence of email application in 
vmware image, I have already started to work on creating a new image 
containing email application. But the compiling and building 
under OE is much complex, and dbug under vmware simulator is 
also not convenient (Maybe I do not get the right method under OE and vmware). 
So is there any possiblity for us to use another set of 
simulator enviroment, such as UML and scratchbox?


 



    And I will contact with 
author of tinymail soon for his opinion of our 
modification.


 



 



Best regards


WU Yu

application current status andimprovement plan



Hi, 

Regarding Email improvement, the following is my 
opinion:
1. Since the current vmware image doesn't have Email app, it is 
difficult for the developers in the community to have a try and then give 
comments, therefore, it would be really nice if the vmware image can be updated 
with Email app installed on it (or a piece of guide on how to install Email into 
the current vmware image).
2. The Email app bases on tinymail for email 
tranmission/account management, etc.  What we have modified to tinymail, 
and what we intend to modify in the future, should be merged into the tinymail 
mainstream. It is not acceptable to maintain a seperate tinymail version. 
therefore, it would be really nice to corporate with the author of tinymail to 
implement relevant functionalities.
3. For email/mailbox local 
storage/management (tinymail has no current funcitonalities yet), ; maybe we 
can follow JSR 266 or similar LiPS spec. We can also talk to tinymail author 
first. Maybe he has similar plan?

Comments?

Compared with 
  other components of GPE Phone Edition, Email application is relative simple 
  with less function. The limitation of current Email application 
  includes: 
  
 

  
1. only one 
  account (both for store and transport email) can be configured 
2. local 
  storage of email is not supported, so Sent Outbox and Draft are all not 
  implemented.
3. only "text/plain" part of email message can be displayed 
  when view the specific email.
4. attachment is not supported.

  
 

  
Email 
  application depends on patched tinymail libraries to implement the real email 
  transmission, but for the GUI section, 

  
 

  
Email 
  application reuses part of SMS application code. Email application has almost 
  the same structure and even some 

  
 

  
function name as 
  SMS application. This is due to hurry implementation of  Email 
  application, and results in bugs coming from 

  
 

  
SMS code and 
  unsuitable architecture. 

  
 

  
So, I'd like to 
  start to improve the Email application from the following 
aspects:

  
 

  
1. rewrite some 
  of existed code, correct the function name and fix bugs
2. design a new 
  architecture which suits Email application.
3. add more functions, 
  including support of multiple accounts setting, implement local 
  storage


  
 

  
I will start 
  the  improvement quickly, Is there anyone has comment and advice on this 
  task? Or anybody also has interest on 
  it?

that's good news - were you able to build the application
itself already?
In this case you could install these instead of building a
complete image.

Scratchbox would be quite useful for development indeed,
especially because I
expect trouble with a common cross toolchain for the VMWare
image because the
architecture is the same than on the host PC.
I'm going to investigate if it is complicated to make use of
Scratchbox for our
purposes.
