I started a little sub of the tinymail project called TMut. It will implement a minimalistic E-mail client for, for example, mobile phones.
Although minimalistic, it will become a functional E-mail client. It will function as a basis for building on top of and as a potential usable client for your mobile.
TMut will help proving that tinymail scales to both larger projects like Modest, as that it scales to smaller E-mail client projects for mini devices like mobile phones, smaller PDAs and VoIP phones.
Although it’s not doing anything right now, all of the minimal tinymail components have already been put in place. I of course need my focus on tinymail itself, so I don’t know how fast this will be ready for use. A minimal E-mail client can be done quickly with tinymail, it should therefore be functional soon. And if not, doing TMut will be a good exercise for me to find the difficult spots and the things that need more documentation in the API.
Because I want TMut to be as language neutral as possible, I will be doing it in GObject with C. Mind that TMut is also going to play the role of a tinymail demo that is more functional than its current demo ui. I’m guessing people who’ll build their own client on top of tinymail want as few decorations as possible. Maybe they will inherit from the TMut types in stead of starting from scratch? Doing TMut in a specific language might limit the options for such teams.
Note: I updated this page on the tinymail ‘marketing’ pages. If any of the projects mentioned on the page want a different description and or prefer to be removed from that list, get in touch with me. If you are starting a project that uses tinymail and want to be listed, you can of course also contact me.
