About me

I am a student of socail science at the university of Goettingen, Germany (currently on exchange in Bologna, Italy). You can find me also at WackoWiki, Wikipedia and http://www.openformats.org .

My Wishlist for Wikka

  • I18n
  • L10n
  • E-Mail (see below for some thoughts)
  • Toc (Table of Content) -> already implementet in WackoWiki
  • Acces to the Config.php through a wikka-interface
  • Smilies (ok, in some sort of "when everything else is done" ;-)

E-Mail

Because I am using Wikis as a personal information manager, the possibility to read, store and write my e-mail in wikka would be a nice feature. Unfortunately I can?t test anything here in Italy (no wiki), but a bit of thinking about it should'nt hurt :)

Idea and Features

So le'ts think about the things which are necessary for this:

  • should be able to get the necessary information from the user (e-mailserver, username, passwort,...)
  • establish/close a connection to the server
  • get the mail from the server (pop3, imap4)
  • store the mail in the database
  • show the mail (one mail, one page?, a list of mails which can be sorted after date, sender, from, size...?)
  • deal with attachments
  • asend mails (smtp)
  • final goal would be: I type a name in the search and get a list of the last e-mails sended to and recieved from him
  • should be able to be linked with an adressbook and the calendar
  • question: store the connection information for every user in the user-settings page? Perhaps allow only some users to use the e-mail action?

  • https://sourceforge.net/projects/poppawid/ popper_mod-wid is a free, full featured web based email client written in PHP. It is an extension of the now abandoned \"popper_mod\" project which was an extension of the origional popper. It runs on any server that can run PHP and mySQL. Uses POP and S
  • php/MySQL based webmail program. Currently only supports pop3, IMAP is in the works. Has a notebook, a favorites organizer and an addressbook.

RFCs

  1. old standard: 822
  1. new standard: 2822
  1. "envelope" (transmission and delivery) -> 2821 (old standard: 821)
  1. MIME document series [RFC2045, RFC2046, RFC2047, RFC2048, RFC2049] for non ascii-messages (and audio, video,etc.?)

RFC2822
  • only standard for messages, not for audio, images etc.
  • This specification is intended as a definition of what message content format is to be passed between systems.
  • local storage is outside of the scope of this standard.
  • Note: This standard specifies that messages are made up of characters in the US-ASCII range of 1 through 127.

Length
  • length of a line without CRLF: 998 char. max, 78 char. recommended (2822)

Header
  • name of header, followed by a colon (":"), followed by a field body and terminated by CRLF (2822)
  • body: US-ASCII (2822) except colon
  • header can be spread about multiple lines (folding white space after CRLF) -> should be unfolded (simply removing any CRLF
that is immediately followed by WSP)

Body
