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.
