Checked out SourceForge today. Pretty slick. Got myself an account and got Eucalyptus approved as a project. Now I'll have to set up the web page for it, and commit the code to CVS.

I did some more work on Euc's POP code, and made some tweaks and such to other parts. I would like to be able to open the progress windows within the respective threads, but I don't know if that's possible with GTK/GDK currently. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know! :) As it stands, I'm resorting to mutexes and a simple message passing mechanism for visual updates while the threads are running.

I also need to get my sister-in-law's new Linux box up and running before we head down there for Thanksgiving.

Well, I started on the POP code. HP-UX upgrades are so tedious and drawn-out, so I had quite a bit of time to do some coding. It's a skeleton at the moment, but will be capable of checking multiple POP mailboxes simultanously (love them threads!), as well as supporting interactive downloading of mail. Pretty spiff, if I do say so myself. ;)

Cleaned up Euc's compose window a bit more. I'm really trying to simplify things like grabbing addresses from the address book, which was a bit complicated in the original Amiga version. Not to mention the fact that I was getting this bizarre occasional lock-up when adding addresses that I couldn't track down for the life of me. Solution: remove it. :)

I really really need to work on the POP code. At least that would rocket Eucalyptus into the semi-usable mailer category. Perhaps tomorrow during my HP upgrade I can hammer some of it out. We'll see.

Just did a new release of Eucalyptus -- 0.1.2.

Did a bit of work yesterday morning on Eucalyptus. Then went and bought a new (17GB) hard drive and popsicled the server at home. Whee! Everything is back to normal except Samba. Grrr. Oh well.

Must get back to Eucalyptus. Netscape mail is really annoying, and the wife is demanding a good mailer for Linux. :)

SMTP progress window (two types!) done, but not tested yet. Message replying completed. I'm going to try to concentrate on finishing the compose window and getting low-level POP stuff working.

Still working on Eucalyptus. Low-level SMTP is working. Just need to get the progress window working, and then POP and it might actually be a usable mailer. :)
