Re: Need advice on correct configuration for an SMTP Transport account

[Steve Rosen <steverosen polarlight com>]

Hi Sergio,

Thank you for the advice on getting notification of a folder
change - that is pretty much what I had figured out from looking
at some of the code in the demo programs.  I'll be trying that
soon.

However - I am having a problem getting my little console app
to send an email (even though I can easily do it in Tmut now).

I'm debugging the difference between Tmut and my console app,
as we speak - it's looking like the Tmut program successfully
creates an "outbox.ev-summary.mmap" file in the "maildir" folder,
but my console app does NOT create this file - I'm not sure why
at this point, but maybe you (or anyone else) has some insight
into this.

Here is the traceback for Tmut (where it's going to create that
summary file):

#0  maildir_create_summary (lf=0x80a4270, path=0x81a3e88 "/home/rosens/.tmut/mail/sendqueue/smtp-comcast/maildir/outbox.ev-summary.mmap",

point):

For Tmut, it creates the summary file (outbox.ev-summary.mmap) -
but for my console app, nada...

I'm sure I'll zero in on the reason why at some point = but if
you can tell me something that is obvious to you (but clearly
not obvious to me), I'd appreciate the assist...

Thanks,
Steve

Hi All,

I just wanted to let you know that I (finally!) got Tmut to
actually send out an email, using my Comcast SMTP server!

The solution?  It looks like when I changed the "auth meth"
for the transport account from "login" to "LOGIN" - and viola! -
I could now send out an email...  :)

Now I just need to make my little console application do the
same thing, and I'm (almost) done!  After showing that I can
send an email, I just need to write the code to get notification
that my Gmail inbox has changed (new email, or existing email
deleted, etc.)...

The best way to do that is most likely to perform a refresh_async at scheduled intervals and get the changes in a folder monitor. Tinymail can return a list of headers that were added/deleted/changed.
