(10:32:57) rlp10 [~richard@li190-74.members.linode.com] entered the room. (10:33:45) rlp10: can i browse an imap mailbox through the filesystem in inferno? (10:47:19) GriffenJBS: rlp10: I'm not sure. (10:48:09) mjl-: i don't think inferno currenlty has a program for that (10:48:20) mjl-: the word "imap" doesn't even appear in appl/ (10:48:37) rlp10: GriffenJBS,mjl: how do most people deal with email then? (10:48:48) mjl-: i don't have email on inferno yet (10:49:13) mjl-: it's one of the things i want to fix soon. but i have to finish a few othe rprojects before starting new ones (10:49:23) rlp10: mjl-: fair enough :) (10:49:58) mjl-: i'm not sure which i approach i want though. i'm now using mutt on a linux server that directly receives mail (10:50:08) mjl-: and i'm not looking forward too much to using imap (10:50:44) mjl-: though having an imap client for inferno would be nice & useful to more people. it's probably a relatively easy way to go. (10:50:45) rlp10: mjl-: I currently use Mutt too, but I would prefer to have something scriptable (10:50:54) GriffenJBS: rlp10: I use gmail for email, almost not worth setting up a small site (10:51:14) rlp10: mjl-: yes, it made sense to me given the design philosophy (10:51:25) mjl-: yeah (10:51:35) rlp10: GriffenJBS: but gmail can't be scripted, right? (10:51:36) mjl-: i think p9p has a mailfs that handles imap (10:51:53) mjl-: i have a vague memory that p9p's mail is different from p9's (10:51:53) rlp10: mjl-: ah, I'll check that (10:52:05) mjl-: but perhaps they are the same now (10:52:19) GriffenJBS: it has some basic abilities, depends on your needs (10:52:45) mjl-: rlp10: are you using imap in mutt now? (10:52:53) rlp10: mjl-: yes (10:52:55) GriffenJBS: you can set up gmail to handle pop/imap (10:53:22) rlp10: GriffenJBS: yes, which I do at the moment... but i'd much prefer it if everything were a file :) (10:53:38) mjl-: rlp10: i'm interested in hearing about what you learn about p9p's mail (10:53:58) mjl-: should be good input for a mail project for inferno (10:54:28) rlp10: mjl-: I'll return to you then once I've had a look (10:59:56) mjl-: cool (11:06:31) robot12 [~KAZZhilki@proxy10.ts.fujitsu.com] entered the room. (11:46:30) rlp10: mjl-: there's a good client called mailfs in p9p. some details for configuring are here: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Mail_configuration/index.html (11:46:44) rlp10: mjl-: it does what i was after: mounts the imap folder onto the filesystem (11:51:32) rlp10 left the room.

(12:13:17) mjl-: hmm (12:13:22) mjl-: i was confused about mailfs (12:13:23) mjl-: i still am (12:13:27) mjl-: i knew about upas/fs (12:13:35) mjl-: but "mailfs" is just another word for upas right? (12:13:50) mjl-: i can't find the word mailfs in p9p man pages, or as a file name (12:20:04) rlp10: yes i think so, the thing that I built was in the mail/upas directory, but i ran it with the command mailfs (12:53:27) robot121 [~KAZZhilki@proxy10.ts.fujitsu.com] entered the room.

(13:02:46) robot12 [~KAZZhilki@proxy10.ts.fujitsu.com] entered the room. (14:04:30) mjl-: rlp10: is that on p9 or p9p? (14:04:55) mjl-: my p9p dir doesn't have mailfs, even after building & install in src/cmd/upas (14:07:57) powerman: looks like inferno-list is broken (14:08:26) powerman: 16 hours ago I've sent there email, and doesn't received it back (14:09:17) powerman: moreover, last email I received in list was Apr 08 about GSoC, while on http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.inferno.general latest email in list is Apr 06 (14:17:38) rlp10: mjl-: p9p, hang on i'll check where mine is (14:25:00) rlp10: mjl-: try, cd /usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/upas/nfs/;mk;mk install (14:25:13) rlp10: you should then have: /usr/local/plan9/bin/mailfs (14:49:24) The account has disconnected and you are no longer in this chat.
