POP3/IMAP Support ? #13

Closed alekksander closed 5 years ago

alekksander commented 6 years ago

would it be possible to have support for simple pop3? it is a feature really missing from any kde plasmoid. would be extremely useful to have it

intika commented 6 years ago

i already tough of that... one way to do it right now without modification is to add your pop3 email to gmail (connect to your mail and under settings you can add a pop3 account "additional mail account")

if your provider support RSS feed like google you can just edit the settings to check your mail over RSS... now that you talk about that i could use this addon base to make a facebook notification checker... mmmm lol any way...

now implementing pop3 or imap protocol over plamoid is a huge work... unless i use something like mpop or telnet but it's a kind a whole other plasmoid... anyway i added that to my todo list for plasmoid work... but i promise nothing :)

thank You for interest. i prefer to avoid google services, and especially gmail. i would never redirect my private emails over big brother servers, and i strongly advice not to do it too. regarding plasmoid – i think there are other project You could „borrow” some code of the pop3/imap implementation and just stick it into Your plasmoid… but yea, i guess it whole other plasmoid then.

yes i do have the same feeling about big brother thing and privacy... it's what first motivated the development of this plasmoid to make it go offline when needed and the possibility to only check when needed... now it depend what kind of mail service we are talking about if it's a yahoo box giving it to google is not a big deal but indeed if it's a real private one then yeah i don't recommend too using it over google for a privacy issue.

This wont fix because it would require a complete rewrite of the plasmoid
