Local Maildir as a target?

Open hydhyd opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

I don't believe there's a half-decent Maildir to HTML converter at the moment.

Would that be possible to add support for processing offline Maildirs?

neat idea, there is a python lib : https://docs.python.org/3/library/mailbox.html#maildir probably a lot of work since this is not the same interface as the remote mailbox api from imaplib

At least you got the HTML part figured out already :)

On another note (and I probably should've filed that as another issue): imapbox does not currently behave when STARTTLS is implicitly required to start authentication on port 143, say with MS Exchange servers (much like getmail and many other Python 2.x IMAP agents: http://getmail.pyropus.narkive.com/8n2eSXGe/imap-starttls-port-143).

Any hope to get that fixed? Must be a quick fix from what I gather. Seems to be a thing since Python 3.4: https://docs.python.org/3/library/imaplib.html#imaplib.IMAP4.starttls

hum, the main problem is that python 3 is not supported. I think the best answer to this would be to rewrite for P3 only in a new branch and forget about p2. last time i tried, i found it impossible to support the 2 versions.

Oh, I was somehow under the impression that you were in the process of migtrating to Python 3.

Anyway, don't mean to be overbearing; just thought I'd throw that out and see what sticks :)

Thanks!
