[Gpephone-devel] Email application current status and improvement plan

[zhangbin]

Compared with other components of GPE Phone Edition, Email application is
relative simple with less function. The limitation of current Email
application includes:
1. only one account (both for store and transport email) can be configured
2. local storage of email is not supported, so Sent Outbox and Draft are all
not implemented.
3. only "text/plain" part of email message can be displayed when view the
specific email.
4. attachment is not supported.

Email application depends on patched tinymail libraries to implement the
real email transmission, but for the GUI section,

Email application reuses part of SMS application code. Email application has
almost the same structure and even some

function name as SMS application. This is due to hurry implementation of
Email application, and results in bugs coming from

SMS code and unsuitable architecture.

So, I'd like to start to improve the Email application from the following
aspects:

1. rewrite some of existed code, correct the function name and fix bugs
2. design a new architecture which suits Email application.
3. add more functions, including support of multiple accounts setting,
implement local storage

I will start the  improvement quickly, Is there anyone has comment and
advice on this task? Or anybody also has interest on it?
