WMMail.app-0.64 News
====================
$Id: NEWS,v 1.9 2000/07/02 20:40:41 bryan.chan Exp $
SYNOPSIS
This is a maintenance release, fixing a number of things and adding
things that should have been there long ago. There are no major new
features.
NEW FEATURES IN 0.64
1. You can make WMMail.app show the names of the mailboxes containing
new messages with the new "DisplayEachMailbox" keyword. If it is
set to "Yes", the name of each mailbox containing new messages is
shown along with its message counts, one after another. (The speed
at which the displayed text is updated depends on the speed of the
icon animation.) This feature is still experimental; its behaviour
is likely to change in the future.
2. POP3 support is complete.
NOT SO NEW FEATURES (COMPARED TO THE 0.5x series)
1. WMMail.app now uses libPropList to read configuration data from
GNUstep defaults domain. The defaults domain that is used can be
specified on the command line, or the first one found from the
following list:
$GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT/Defaults/WMMail
$HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WMMail
$GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT/Defaults/WMMail
@prefix@/GNUstep/Defaults/WMMail
/usr/local/GNUstep/Defaults/WMMail
$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Defaults/WMMail
/usr/GNUstep/Defaults/WMMail
This hopefully makes distribution maintainers and sysadmins happy.
An example domain is provided in Defaults/WMMail. You should
definitely edit it before trying to use it on your system.
Unfortunately, for now you will have to hand-edit the defaults domain.
There will be a GUI tool for it in the future.
The old .wmmailrc configuration file is not used any more.
2. WMMail.app now supports POP3, IMAP, MailDir, MH, and mbox mailboxes.
If you have a favourite mailbox format that should be supported, you
are welcome to submit a patch. For ideas, take a look at wmmail.[ch],
properties.[ch] and mbox.[ch].
3. WMMail.app now uses automake/autoconf to configure itself. You are
advised to disable support for any mailbox format you won't use, in
order to save space. For example, if you only use UNIX mbox files
and POP3, run configure as follows:
./configure --disable-mh --disable-maildir --disable-imap
4. Different mailboxes can have different update intervals. For
example, you can check a local mbox more often (e.g. every 15
seconds) than you would want to check a remote POP3 mailbox
(e.g. every 5 minutes).
