IMAP, Google, and Yahoo Drivers

["Adam T. Gautier" <mada gautier org>]

Greetings and Salutations,

I got the google driver working finally and I am in the process of adding
yahoo's REST search API to the mix and I was thinking of adding flickr
search as well.  I know there was some issue on actually having google in
working order because of dashboard and license issues.  Obviously other
drivers would have the same issue.  My stand is that I am using my
google/yahoo key and beagle is how I want to use it. I not beagle have the
issue.  I am not sure if there is an existing way to get the google driver
to work but I wrote a new tile based off of tomboy and after a few tweaks
and issues now have it coming up in best.  When I am done with the other
drivers I will be sending a patch.

On another note I looked into porting some generic IMAP code from python
into beagle.  As Joe S. thought I ran into a problem with .net libraries
superseded python libraries.  I will probably have to rewrite the code in
C#.  Then to answer the next question of (paraphrasing), "How will the
information from IMAP be displayed (generic URI and what not)?"  Is there
a generic text viewer?  I see that there are some viewers for Contacts and
such (used this yet). I think a generic text viewer would 1.) solve the
issue of displaying information to a user that does not have an available
local viewer (remote mail files). 2.) Provide a mechanism for fast
prototyping of new and interesting drivers (I have lots of database
information that needs indexing).  I would think that a simple viewer of
Key:Value fields and a main text body would prove to be very useful.

Cheers,

Adam
