Gmail, a staple of our work environment, becomes a little more like “big-boy” IMAP courtesy of Google Labs. Hit the Labs button in your Gmail account and you’ll see a new “Advanced IMAP Controls” function. Enable it and you can begin to take advantage of the following new features: Auto-Expunge: it sounds like a dirty word, but expunging is a good thing for data that’s no longer needed. Up to now, Gmail would simply mark ...

Google adds another opt-in feature to its roster of Gmail Labs experiments: Advanced IMAP Controls, a way to selectively decided which of your Gmail labels are available to your IMAP client plus other tweaks. With the new feature enabled, go to the Labels tab under your Gmail account's Settings area to select and de-select "Show in IMAP" on a per-label basis. Google describes a few other "obscure" IMAP features you can configure, as well. The ...

Filed under: Cellphones Just when you think you've escaped the darkened woods of firmware 2.0.2 and previous ilk, along comes 2.1, wrapped in faster-loading-contacts-finery to convince you all is well in the iPhone world. That isn't entirely the case, it seems, if you're user of POP or IMAP mail accounts which are set to fetch messages. Apparently, a maddening bug exists in the new software which -- in the interest of battery power conservation, we ...

I was wondering why my phone doesn't seem to get email and chirp at me while it's in my pocket, and only while I'm using it. What's the point of fetching at all? Isn't that just basically Manual Fetch mode?

One of the biggest gripes I hear from Windows Mobile users is that there is no true way to get your Gmail pushed to your device. Sure, you can simulate something like this by setting Pocket Outlook to check your mail every 15 minutes. But really, this is not the same as push which alerts you as soon as a message hits your inbox. Well, gripe no more (or for those of you who always ...

A quiet BlackBerry Internet Service upgrade has been rolled out that according to many is resulting in much quicker e-mail delivery over IMAP. Traditionally, only those on BlackBerry Enterprise Server would get their e-mail pushed to their handset instantly, and BIS users had to wait 10-15 minutes for delivery. Now anyone getting their BIS e-mail via servers that support IMAP IDLE will receive messages in real-time as the standard was designed to provide. It’s great ...

Basically if you don't connect to a work Exchange server chances are you are on BIS (Blackberry Internet Server).This new feature essentially means that if you use Gmail (or any other email service that supports IMAP) you can now get true IMAP push email to your Blackberry. Previous to today you had ...

What should I use for personal e-mail over IMAP? Soon my university will shut off the e-mail service I have been using for my personal e-mail over the last few years. I'm looking for a replacement through which I can quickly get e-mail through secure IMAP. It would be best if the service had some sort of server-side filtering, preferably with Sieve, or even procmail (slightly less preferred). Gmail is pretty good and what I ...

前些天有读者提出需要在iPhone中开发Email的程序。在iPhone的SDK中除了使用mailto的方式发送邮件之外暂时还没有其他更好的方法。 这里介绍两个基于Objective-C的Open Source的Email代码，理论上来说经过微小的修改就可以用于iPhone中，不过需要注意的是请注意这两个代码的授权方式。 Pantomime是一个用于开发邮件程序的完整框架，而且有相当多的基于Mac的桌面程序都使用了这个框架。在功能方面，支持MIME编码和解码，完全支持IMAP和POP3协议，并支持本地邮件发送或使用远程SMTP发送，支持SSL/TLS安全发送及接收邮件机制。 它的大部分代码都是使用Objective-C写成，只有一小部分需要性能的代码用c写成，另外它还使用了一点eml代码。它既可以用于Mac OSX，还可以在GNUStep下编译。 Pantomime的使用非常简单，而且下载包中也提供了完善的使用例子，仅仅使用很短的代码就可以实现邮件的接收、发送以及密码验证等功能。 如果你希望开发一个完整的电子邮件程序，相信Pantomime是最好的选择。下载地址在这里，版本为1.2.0pre3。 另外一个代码的名字叫做MailCore Framework，由Matt Ronge开发（感觉做Mac开发的人叫Matt的好多……）。同样非常好用，也自带了两个简单清楚的例子。 用MailCore Framework发送邮件非常简单： CTCoreMessage *testMsg = [[CTCoreMessage alloc] init]; [testMsg setTo:[NSSet setWithObject:[CTCoreAddress addressWithName:@"Monkey" email:@"monkey@monkey.com"]]]; [testMsg setFrom:[NSSet setWithObject:[CTCoreAddress addressWithName:@"Someone" email:@"test@someone.com"]]]; [testMsg setBody:@"This is a test message!"]; [testMsg setSubject:@"This is a subject"]; 设置好之后就可以直接发送： CTSMTPConnection sendMessage:testMsg server:@"mail.test.com" username:@"test" password:@"test" port:25 useTLS:YES shouldAuth:YES]; [testMsg release]; 需要注意的是MailCore并不支持多线程，另外MailCore将所有信息都保存在内存中，因此需要开发者自己手写保存的代码了。不过虽然如此，它还是一个非常简单易用的邮件接收发送代码，建议读者下来看看。 MailCore的下载地址在这里，其中包括了文档和例子。
