This version of POP3Client is somewhat of a departure from previous
versions, and is more like the program I had in mind when I set out.
There are still a few things missing (configurable locations for the
windows being one of the main ones, and 'rules' being one of the others)
It does -seem- to work, I've been using this version fairly happily
(well, entirely happily) for the last month or so, but I feel it only
fair to warn that I've not asked it to do anything strange, as users
tend to do :)
I'll fix any and all problems that get reported that I can, but please
don't abuse me if it helps the system eat your mail :}
There are two main reasons I wrote this program. One was as an exercise
in the use of Acorn's Toolbox system, and the other was 'cause I
want(ed) a pop mail fetcher that would allow me to set the 'poll-time'
for individual users. I desired this because I collect email from 6
mailboxes at present. Some of which I wish to check once every 5 minutes
or so while online, another I wish to check around once an hour, and the
last which I am quite happy only to check once a day.
Having achieved that, the program's grown a few additions along the way,
the most obvious of which is probably the 'gateway' support which has
been targeted at the method used by WinGate (a Win 95/NT program).
If it's any use to someone else, cool, if not, that's cool too. If/When
I manage to get around to finishing it to the 1.00 state I'm intending
to post it to comp.binaries.acorn and/or to comp.sources.acorn, just so
sources has something appear on it :) (Having noted that it was
initially an exercise one is not allowed to expect good or even nice
internal code :P)
