Hi, * Derek Martin wrote:http://www.openchange.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=49Looking around that site, using libmapi doesn't seem to be too complicated. But requiring samba and libmapi just to read mail?! Profile management could also be an issue to fit into mutt's UI (if we didn't leave that up to the user). But before adding another storage backend, I think we should clean up the existing API a bit... I also wonder many people actually use this or will potentially, i.e. is it really worth the work?
Well, I have one contribution of using openchange/libmapi and libmagic (eww) in a feature branch for merging into fetchmail. This looks like adding a hell of a lot of requirements on 0.X stuff (and since the code was written as Google Summer of Code 2008, fetchmail's BRANCH_MAPI had to be updated to work with current OpenChange versions, so the API doesn't seem overly stable yet).
libmapi may not support SSL (perhaps that's an issue upstream), but I think we may not want to add such code to mutt.
Derek, how about using <http://davmail.sourceforge.net/>? I saw ravings [1] about that stuff (seems to be a proxy) on the Gnus (the Emacs Lisp Mail/News reader) mailing list, but haven't checked it.
