  • Designing a User Interface for the Innovative E-Mail Client Semester Thesis
    Designing a User Interface for the Innovative E-mail Client Semester Thesis Student: Alexandra Burns Supervising Professor: Prof. Bertrand Meyer Supervising Assistants: Stephanie Balzer, Joseph N. Ruskiewicz December 2005 - April 2006 1 Abstract Email Clients have become a crucial application, both in business and for per- sonal use. The term information overload refers to the time consuming issue of keeping up with large amounts of incoming and stored email. Users face this problem on a daily basis and therefore benefit from an email client that allows them to efficiently search, display and store their email. The goal of this thesis is to build a graphical user interface for the innovative email client developed in a previous master thesis. It also explores the possibilities of designing a user interface outside of the business rules that apply for commercial solutions. 1 Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Existing Work 6 2.1 ReMail ................................. 6 2.1.1 Methods ............................ 6 2.1.2 Problems Identified ...................... 7 2.1.3 Proposed Solutions ...................... 7 2.1.4 Assessment .......................... 8 2.2 Inner Circle .............................. 8 2.2.1 Methods ............................ 8 2.2.2 Problems Identified ...................... 9 2.2.3 Proposed Solutions ...................... 9 2.2.4 Assessment .......................... 10 2.3 TaskMaster .............................. 10 2.3.1 Methods ............................ 10 2.3.2 Problems Identified ...................... 11 2.3.3 Proposed Solution ...................... 11 2.3.4 Assessment .......................... 12 2.4 Email Overload ............................ 12 2.4.1 Methods ............................ 12 2.4.2 Problems Identified ...................... 13 2.4.3 Proposed Solutions ...................... 13 2.4.4 Assessment .......................... 14 3 Existing Solutions 16 3.1 Existing Email Clients .......................

  • Mathematics Department's New Email Service
    Mathematics Department’s New Email Service The department’s new email service employs the widely-used IMAP email protocol to allow you to read and organize your email. You may use the Math web-based email service, http://webmail.math.vt.edu, and/or email software on Unix systems, such as elm, mutt or pine. The IMAP protocol stores your email on a department server computer that daily saves your email and files to backup tapes. The server does not have an infinite supply of disk storage, so you will need to periodically delete email you no longer need or transfer it to your PC or Mac for archival.1 You may use the webmail service in conjunction with other email applications. Elm Elm is no longer supported. You may use mutt which is very similar. Pine Before running pine, you must update your existing pine settings with this command, /local/calvin/bin/updatepinerc PID where PID is your Virginia Tech PID. This will create a new .pinerc file in your home directory containing settings for using the new Math Email system. A copy of your original .pinerc file is named .pinerc-pre4.64 in your home directory. If you have previously used an older version of pine, any of your old settings that were not migrated to the new .pinerc will be listed. These are saved in a file named pinerc- settings. If you want to continue using any old settings, you must edit .pinerc to include them. Pine groups mailboxes into collections. One collection will be any mailboxes on the mail server.

  • Postfix Catch All and Mutt
    Postfix Catch All and Mutt End goal: having postfix saving all of the emails for a domain to a single “mailbox” in maildir format, and being able to send email using mutt (or similar). Specifics to my setup I'm not going to open port 25 on my server, I'm going through Net7's spam filter, which will then forward to my server on port 8025. So I need to open port 8025. The rule was already there for port 25, I just need to edit the thing. Make Postfix listen to another port There is always the plan of using iptables to redirect the traffic. You can do it in Postfix as well. Open master.cf and find this line: smtp inet n - - - - smtpd The smtp word up front is actually a port. You can replace it with this line: 8025 inet n - - - - smtpd If you restart Postfix and check with netstat it should be listening to another port. Setting up Maildir delivery By default Postfix will output emails to a single file in /var/mail/. I'd rather have the Maildir format which separates emails into different files that I can individually move and/or delete. I'm going off the rails here trying out things. Looks like we're going to need these configuration options in main.cf: home_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command = Make sure mailbox_command isn't set somewhere else in the file. Reload Postfix. We should be able to test that this is working using a known user on the system. You can telnet-test like so: EHLO test MAIL FROM:<[email protected]> RCPT TO:<william> DATA Test.

  • Sebenarnya Apa Sih Yang Dimaksud Dengan Perangkat Lunak Email Client
    Aplikasi email client Sebenarnya apa sih yang dimaksud dengan Perangkat Lunak Email Client ? Jika kita telaah asal kata dari kalimat tersebut, bahwa email (Electronic Mail) merupakan suatu proses dan cara pengiriman pesan atau gambar melalui internet ke 1 org atau lebih. Pada dasarnya email sama dengan surat biasa (snail mail) yang harus melewati beberapa kantor pos sebelum sampai ke tujuannya, begitu dikirimkan oleh seseorang melalui komputer yang tersambung ke internet sebuah email masuk ke beberapa komputer lain di sepanjang jaringan internet yang disebut dengan mail server. Ketika email tersebut sampai ke server yang menjadi tujuan (seperti yang ditunjuk pada alamat email – kepada siapa kita menulis email), maka email tersebut disimpan pada sebuah emailbox. Si pemilik alamat email baru bisa mendapatkan email itu kalau yang bersangkutan mengecek emailbox-nya. Nah untuk mengakses emailbox, kita perlu melakukan login melalui interface atau tampilan berbasis web yang disediakan oleh Pemilik Mail Server kita. Untuk melakukan login tentu saja dibutuhkan koneksi internet yang lumayan kencang dan tidak putus-putus alias RTO (Request Time Out). Untuk Mempermudah kita membaca email serta pengiriman email tanpa harus login melalui tampilan web, kita membutuhkan aplikasi yang yang biasa disebut Email Client. Aplikasi apa saja yang termasuk Email Client ? Beberapa aplikasi yang termasuk jenis ini diantaranya adalah : (Tabel Comparison) User Client Creator Cost Software license Interface Alpine University of Washington Free Apache License CLI Balsa gnome.org Free GNU GPL GUI Becky! Internet Rimarts US$40 proprietary software GUI Mail BlitzMail Dartmouth College Free BSD GUI Citadel citadel.org Free GNU GPL Web Claws Mail the Claws Mail team Free GNU GPL GUI Courier Mail Server Cone Free GNU GPL CLI developers Correo Nick Kreeger Free GNU GPL GUI Courier Micro Computer Free (as of version (formerly Systems, Inc., continued proprietary software GUI 3.5) Calypso) by Rose City Software Dave D.

The most popular usecase is to synchronize a server with a local folder and use a set of other programs to change the local events and contacts. Vdirsyncer can then synchronize those changes back to the server. However, vdirsyncer is not limited to synchronizing between clients and servers. It can also be used to synchronize calendars and/or addressbooks between two servers directly. It aims to be for calendars and contacts what OfflineIMAP is for emails.

  • Planning for an Open-Source Entrant in the PKI Interoperability Trials
    Planning for an open-source entrant in the PKI interoperability trials Andrew Findlay 9th June 2001 Skills 1st Ltd netproject 2 Cedar Chase 124 Middleton Road Taplow Morden Maidenhead Surrey SL6 0EU SM4 6RW [email protected] [email protected] 01628 782565 020 8715 0072 http://www.skills-1st.co.uk/ http://www.netproject.com/ netproject/pki/docs/planning.aw 1 Planning for an open-source entrant in the PKI interoperability trials Andrew Findlay 9th June 2001 [email protected] 1: Background CESG and the Office of the E-envoy conducted a PKI and secure messaging interoperability demonstration during February 2001. The aim was to demonstrate to Government that PKI products now interoperate well enough for individual departments to procure them on the basis of functionality and value for money without worrying about compatibility issues. A second round of tests and demonstrations is planned for late 2001, with an expanded range of functions to be tested. Netproject proposed the idea of including one or more open-source entrants in the next round of tests, and was awarded a contract to do an initial study on how this might be achieved. Several benefits are expected to flow from the participation of open-source entrants, including the provision of a non-proprietary ‘neutral ground’ where vendors will be able to work directly with the code at both ends of a communication. 2: Requirements The precise definition of the tests to be undertaken has not yet been fixed, but is expected to include basic CA operations (certificate generation, signing, checking, revocation) and S/MIME messaging including both signing and encryption.
