gmail solution

[jonny]

I know smartie does not have a direct way of displaying emails from Gmail, but does anyone have a way to work around this?

Gmai uses SSL, and a specific port number (995) for incoming for their incoming POP3 server. They do have an RSS feed for your inbox, but it is also secure : HTTPS: //USERNAME:PASSWORD@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom , and it doesn't work with the smartie rss reader.

I was thinking of a utility that would read the rss feed, and save the contents of it to a local text file, which smartie can then read and display, but I havent been able to find that type of utility anywhere, and lack the skills to code it.

Does anyone have any ideas? If any developers would like a gmail account to play around with, send me a pm and i'll send you an invite.

I think thats a very good idea for a plugin...

Limbo, have a look at http://www.openssl.org/. It is an add-on that may allow smartie to talk to gmail's servers.

I'm still hoping that this will work!

I believe that, if HTTPS support was incorporated (using OpenSSL...requires winpcap as well), then the RSS feed should "just work" as is. I can't say this for certain, but it makes sense: once you fix the problem of connecting to a secure HTTP server, the RSS feed is otherwise the same, so the existing module should handle it just fine.

I know that gmail supports pop access, but it also is encrypted, and Smartie does not presently support this type of encryption. Have a look at this page, which shows the configuration settings needed to access gmail over pop.

Next version of smartie will have native support for SSL
