xbmcmail pop3 (POP/SMTP) e-mail client for XBMC - burriko - 2004-04-13

xbmcmail v0.3.1
by burriko

a pop3 email client for xbmc.

features
read emails that are currently in your pop3 mailbox.
emails are not deleted from the pop3 account so you can still pick them up later using your usual email client.
view images and listen to mp3s that are attached to the email.

0.3.1 - fixed attachment case-sensitivity bug

0.3 - added support for html emails.
attempted to add support for 720p resolution.
configurable temp folder to save attachments.

0.2 - uses images from textures.xpr.
added email images made by stass.
added support for ntsc.

0.1 - initial release.

how to use
1. open xbmcmail.py in a text editor and change the server, username and password.
2. copy xbmcmail.py to the \xbmc\scripts folder on your xbox.
3. optional. if you want 'my email' to appear on the opening menu of xbmc then copy the skin folder to your xbmc folder and copy strings.xml to \xbmc\language\english on your xbox.
note: this will overwrite the home.xml file in the mediacenter skin, only copy it over if you have a very recent build of xbmc, you can tell if it's new enough if it has the xbox-scene rss feed and the xlink kai gaming feature.

troubleshooting
if nothing happens when you run the script then it is very likely that you do not have python installed properly. if the file python23.zlib does not exist in your /xbmc/python folder then you must extract the contents of the python.rar that came with your copy of xbmc in to that folder.

thanks to stass for making the email icons.

nice  Smile

btw, one thing i noticed is this line
Quote:self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(0,0,720,576, 'q:\\skin\\' + skindir + '\\media\\background.png'))
it's ok but you could use this to
Quote:self.addcontrol(xbmcgui.controlimage(0,0,720,576, 'background.png'))
this will get background.png from the textures.xpr file from the current skin, and it will save some memory to

thanks, i didn't realise that.

actually there's one thing i wanted to mention to you. i wanted this email script to be able to blend into xbmc as much as possible, but there was one thing i couldn't do. when an audio file is playing and xbmc shows the song info and album art, it doesn't seem to be possible to have this display when you are creating a window in python. unless of course you are just drawing on top of an already existing window in xbmc.
can you think of any way around this?

oh, and thanks for all of the hard work you've done on getting python in to xbmc. Smile

i can't seem to get any of these internet scripts to work, with the exception of googlenews. all of them just don't connect to the net.

i like it alot!.. but it dont show å, ä, ö, å, ä, and ö and html mail (many mail is in html even tho it dont need to) looks messy...

you think you can add support for å, ä, ö, å, ä, and ö and html mail?

html mail is something that i'm definitely going to work on. most html emails actually have a plain text section as well as html, for email clients that don't support html, so at the moment i'm just using the plain text, but unfortunately not every html email has the plain text message.

i don't think there's anything i can do about the character set, but it's something i'll look in to.

thanks.
