I added platform libraries for OLPC, GPE and Maemo to the build environment of the tinymail framework. The GNOME desktop one is now fully implemented with support for things like GnomeVFS, Gnome Keyring, GnomePasswordDialog and NetworkManager. I will personally implement the OLPC platform one. The GPE and Maemo platform ones will be implemented by me and the people who are doing Modest.
The Maemo one has been tested and works, but improved support for some Maemo specifics are soon going to be added.
This list illustrates which platforms will be tested and supported when I’ll release version 2.0 (if ever). A first version of the tinymail framework will probably be released a few minutes before the first public appearance of Modest and will definitely support GPE, Maemo and the GNOME desktop. To give you an ETA, this wont happen before or during GUADEC.
Modest will be much cooler. But tinymail comes with a demo-ui. That demo-ui looks like this if you compile with –with-platform=maemo and –enable-gnome=no.
The “give me your f. password!” – dialog box when you are not using GnomePasswordDialog nor GNOME Keyring:
This is the GNOME Hackers mailing list. I had some fun shooting holes in the E-mail addresses of Joe Shaw and Ross Golder:
