Re: POP3 email Monitor application released!

[max_adamiec]

I've had Listener running all evening and it appears to be the 30m
interval multiple mail messages. Sometimes they're garbled, somtimes
displayed but don't scroll. Still in large text mode.

When I get a free hour, I'll run a few tests with various
combinations of the height modes (standby and on).


Just a thought for the new mail osd app. Would it possible have an
option in the config file to select which messages are forwarded to
the display. eg. new email messages flash to display,
irregular "digest" messages not forwarded.


What would be really nice now (slimp3 orientated this one) is a perl
plugin for the slimserver which picks up the digest message and
creates an inbox status information directory on the osd. This
appears do-able in perl but is currently beyond my abilities (have
read a book but not yet experimented).

Another (probably much simpler) option would be plugin which
executes the xap message to request the digest message. I've seen a
plugin somewhere which will launch an application from a slimp3
remote/menu command, should be easy enough to point it at a text
file xap message associated with the xap send app. (This is first on
by learn perl/to do list).
