From: George Oliver on 8 Aug 2010 22:46 hi, I'd like to know what to consider when writing an email/rss/usenet client. Apologies for such a broad question, but I've never attempted a project of this scope and I'm currently feeling out the requirements. My target is something like a gui-based mutt (I use a Windows OS btw), with influences from programs like Alpine (http://www.washington.edu/ alpine/) and Sup (http://sup.rubyforge.org/). I currently use Thunderbird + Muttator, which is a nice setup; but, it has some clunky parts, and I thought it might be simpler in the end to start fresh than try to engage with what seems to be the massive-ness of Thunderbird (of course, I may be disabused of this notion at some point ;) ). So far I've looked at the email and related modules in the standard lib, found some related links from the list [1], and read a little about the relevant protocols involved. I'd appreciate hearing about any other examples, references, or experiences of people who've written similar programs or related libraries. thanks, George [1] Including references to: * http://sourceforge.net/projects/usablemail/ * http://proquest.safaribooksonline.com/0596000855/python2-CHP-11-SECT-4 * http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Email * the pyne client * http://chandler.osafoundation.org/
