xbmcmail pop3 (POP/SMTP) e-mail client for XBMC

great work burriko! i love the script.

once writing emails as well is inserted ( hopefully with keyboard support ) this is by far the moste useful extension for xbmc !

best regards

feature request

- multi account checking, i think a few people have more than just one account ( i got 5 for example )

- writing emails

when i tried using an ip address i got a connect error.

i tried substituting my mail servers ip address in place of the domain name address and it worked fine, so ip addresses do work. perhaps it's something else causing your problem?

sorry.....my dumb mistake

thanks,

new version, 0.3, just released. check the first post in this thread for details.

i've attempted to add a 720p mode, but i don't think i've done a very good job. if some hdtv people (aurora13) could try it out and let me know if it's any good. if you wish to change any of the layout that would be appreciated. simply open xbmcmail.py in a text editor and you'll find that near the top there's a chunk of good for each resolution. simply change the coordinates for the 720p things until you get what you want. i've also added a section for 1080i if someone wants to try that, i haven't even attempted to fill in values for it yet.
if you do find better values for the hdtv resolutions then please send the updated xbmcmail.py to me and i'll include it in the next release.

thanks.

you did a very good job!
yesterday i already changed the 0.2 version by myself, but you did almost the same job and that without a hdtv!

to use a little more of the screen, i will change the 0.3 version to make it more in the style of mine 720p mediacenter skin. will make pictures of both your version and mine version, so you can check easily which one you like.

i use a program called http://www.fitsoftware.com

you simply specify 127.0.0.1 as your pop server. unfortunately i am not sure how to use it on the xbox.

hmm... i think your xbox should be able to retrieve your hotmail using using hotmail popper running on your pc. run hotmail popper on your pc, but change the config to use your pc's real ip address (not 127.0.0.1.) you can leave all other setting the same.

in xbmcmail.py, enter your pc's ip address for server, and your hotmail username for user, and your hotmail password as pass.

@burriko
this is how it looks with 0.3:
my email
my email fullscreen

i changed it a little bit to look like this:
my email (new)
my email fullscreen (new)

see if you like it (download here), otherwise stick to your version since it already looks very good. keep up the good work!
