Mail plugin with pop3 support

[Jan Blok]

1) fixed http://downloads.servoy.com/beta/2.1_product/mail.jar
2) well yes, you first recieve it and then put it in the database
3) outlook, we could provide a method to delete a specific msg to get same behaviour,like deleteServerMail(sentdate)
4) numberofmsg is no problem, but recieveing headers is about 100bytes per header, seems not like a problem to me.
5) javamethods do not call them, they are hidden in normal use.
6) recieve date is filled in by the mail client, which in our case your method, so it is null.

1. Thanks, I give it a try
2. This could be problematic for small-broadband-clients
because you have to download first 4mb than upload 4 mb again, and than download 4mb again, to view it. that is: 12MB data, only to put it in a column.
It would be handy, that you could put attachments in the database directly, without loading the first to the client.
3. would be nice.
4. ok, I thought that they would be bigger
5. -
6. This one I don't really get. I am downloading emails, from an emailserver that is also reachable from a webclient. In the webclient I see a sendate and a receiveddate. When I download it with the pop3 plugin, the receiveddate is null. I would expect else.

2) to view not needed to download again, it is one download and one db insert. (how whould you do this otherwise?) better not download attachements on small-broadband-clients then.
6) we use a SUN java mail lib, which seems not to provide a recieve date, but why do you not mark the mail with a "new Date" as being the recieve date when you recieve the mail?

[Harjo]

6.) Oke, but why is there a function: msg.getReceivedDate() ?
You don't have to answer!

[Jan Blok]

It is availible on the java objects so we forwarded them to javascript, maybe in the future the recieve date is filled in

An performance enhancement is made for headers only http://downloads.servoy.com/beta/2.1_product/mail.jar
Thanks to HJK for pointing this out.
