Re: [gotmail] out there suggestion...

[Eric Robibaro]

Hmm I go offline the holidays, and you guys get all wild on me lol

My original question didn't have so much to do with rewriting gotmail, or 
hotwayd or anything like that, as much as figuring out if code was 
exchanged between the various "hotmail-grabbers" to combat hotmail changing 
their site all the time.  Is there some sort of information repository 
about such things?
I'm all for imap(I use pop3 only reluctantly, it's just not meant for 
dealing/filtering 1200-2500 messages a day in a single inbox, unlike cyrus 
and its suite of tools like my non-webmail interface deals with), however, 
I was hoping code exchange, etc... would allow me to run less than the 
number of daemons I'm running now(2 fetchyahoos, 2 gotmails, 1 web2pop, 1 
mrpostman and 1 webmail.py)  Having a consistent module format might 
actually enable me to use one single daemon(hopefully using imap) to get 
all my webmail, then use fetchmail to pull them all into my single inbox). 
An advantage to this method would be that if hotwayd and gotmail do 
collaborate, and make a state-conserving system(we'll say imap for now, 
could be something else, but imap works) and the webDAV interface does go 
away, having this solution means gotmail and hotwayd will keep 
working(until the next interface change).  A modular system might also 
allow me to add other extensions/support to something like hotwayd.  I 
guess since talks aren't ongoing, I better get in touch with the other 
projects, or seriously consider what commercial products(izymail is the 
only one I've seen that touches more than half the webmail extensions I 
need, and web2pop breaks all the time, and the author doesn't reply to 
mails)

The resulting discussion was entertaining when I got back though :)
