Dear Mark, Excellent initiative you have taken! I am abit new to Python and RaspberryPi but have some coding experience and have tried to install pyAirmail, but have problems. I was missing the setup.py file to start with. Have tried to import the necessary libraries and compile on the RaspberryPi 3+ both with Python3 IDLE and under the command line but don't succeed. Could you please make a setup.py file or write a short "step by step how-to install" instructions for us that yachties that are new to Python and Raspberry or similar? Cheers Martin

@MrHassel Sorry for the slow response. Thanks for your feedback. Actually I am working on this project over the next few days, so I will release some updates and include more detailed instructions for setup and use.

Hello, I have been using for a long time Airmail (for SailMail) with wine on Ubuntu, but on arm (Raspberry Pi), even if I have been able to install wine, it is not working. So your solution sound nice. As my knowledges in Python are very very close to zero a howto install and configure your solution is really needed; till now I have unable to set up your solution to be used with SSB Pactor 4 and Iridium Go. I could then add it in the "IT solution" I have been tested this year on RPI 3B+ (one for navigation, one for communication and one for management of local network and devices) based on OpenPlotter 1.2. I am improving the solution on RPI 4B+ using OpenPlotter 2 (still in development). This should be available online in January-February 2020. Thanks in advance to take some times to help us (I am sure that's going to be apreciated by many sailors
