Greetings Zopesters,

I have been working on a little pet Zope Product project for months now.
Getting hired at digicool put the brakes on it a little but I have
finally gotten the time to polish it up a bit for alpha release.

Check out:
http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/furtrapper/NotMail

for NotMail.  NotMail is a clone of 'other' popular web-mail interfaces.
Please download and evaluate.  But first a word of warning:

NotMail is alpha.  It is being released with the intention of harvesting
other developers who are interesting in breaking it, fixing it, and
improving it.  Although it is a cool program, it is unstable (try
pointing it at Exchange!) and not complete.  I have tried to document it
in code as much as possible, and it does contain a nice README.txt.  You
are expected to be able to infer the workings of NotMail by the source,
or by telepathy, whatever.  If NotMail makes your hard drive partition
go bye-bye or makes your imap server think it's a dhcp server that's the
way the cookie crumbles.

Okay, now a word of license:

NotMail is released under the GNU General Public License.  Give yourself
a piece of mind and send the Free Software Foundation a donation.  You'd
do it for NPR wouldn't you?

Now a kind word about Digital Creations:

Digicool has been kind enough to let me waste a small fraction of my
time to release this today.  They also let me use their computer to
check my personal mail, etc.  Please don't infer that because I work for
Digicool that NotMail is a product of Digital Creations.  Please do not
submit NotMail bugs to the Collector or send reports to
support@digicool.com.  These things are for Zope and other Digicool
products.  It is ok to discuss it in the list but I'd prefer all
discussion happen using the cool Confera discussion that can be found in
the same place you can get NotMail.

Regards,

Michel
