IMPORTANT
---------

For this plugin to work properly, you need the latest CVS snapshot of
jpilot, see http://jpilot.org/cvs.html

This version is preliminary. The last months, I rarely worked on it,
the main reason was that I did not get mail deleted from Outbox. Now
that I found it, I will try to include all those patches that people
sent.


INTRODUCTION
------------

jpilot-Mail is a plugin for jpilot (http://jpilot.org/) which
enables you to deliver mail that was written on your pilot and upload
mail that you received to your pilot.

jpilot-Mail sends mails via SMTP. This code was directly recycled from
my other GNU software project, masqmail


potential problems:
-------------------

jpilot-Mail uses a file ~/.jpilot/.mailids to identify messages that
it has already seen, so that it does not read mails from your mailbox
folder again. If you delete a mail in your pilot database, it will not
be read again from the folder, because its mail id has already been
seen. This is only a problem if you want that mail *again*, in this case
find its message id in ~/.jpilot/.mailids and delete it. It may also
cause problems if you switch between mailbox folders, because mail ids
not seen in the folder will be deleted from ~/.jpilot/.mailids. If you
used folder A, then use folder B and back again folder to A, the
messages from folder A will be read again.

Sorry, but all this would be much easier if I found a better way to
identify the messages.
