Comments for Re - emailer - Re - minder

Hi, I have a few questions to this project.

• Do you want a standalone app or is a webbased solution an option.
• Do you keep your mails unread in the ‘toreply’ folder.
• Do you want a copy emailed or just a email reminder, with the subject and link to the original mail.

How do you see a web-based solution working?

Yeah, keep them unread if you can.

Email a copy of the email.

With Greasemonkey you need to be at mail.google.com to do this i think.

With a PHP script and webcron it could be possible to check mailbox once a day, and reemail the needed emails. So a webbased solution is possible. (You can host it at your own website or homeserver)

So it’s web based just because it’s written in PHP? :-)

Slamidtfyn, you’re proposing a script that I could run from my home computer? I think that would be ideal.

Also maybe have user settings like appending text to the subject so I know it’s a “re-email”.

Ben, good thinking with the greasemonkey, but I don’t see how javascript could send emails, or make them look newer. Do you know something I don’t? :-)

So its web based just because its written in PHP? :-)

Yeah Yeah your right, problem is i cant figure out right now how to use php_curl.dll on my WinXP workstation.

If it’s not a problem (running curl) for you I might be able to create a solution.

Will curl let you get the GMAIL tags on emails? I figured you’d need a Gmail specific library for that?

I found a library using Curl that can connect to Gmail

And I have curl+php running now!!! :-)

Any pledger’s??

Hmm, I’d need this to work on Linux. I’ll pledge a little if you think you can do it.

If you have the cURL library in your php installation you should be able to run the script.

I have created a demo of the script. I have in my own gmail labeled 2 emails with “toreply” and created a script to just list these emails: Demo page

You can test the page by sending an email to slamidtfyn+toreply@$$$gmail.com (remove $$$)

I pledged $5 to kick things off. (Sorry I’m poor :-( )

To Pledgers (i.e. Gregthe1)

I have uploaded a draft version.

To use this enter your gmail account data in settings.inc and try to run the script.

I still need to resend the original email, this version only sends a email with including a link to the original email

I don’t see any downloads. Where should I look?

I might have uploaded the file before i made the estimate, can this be the problem?

I have uploaded the same release one more time.

Ok, I tried the download. I marked 7 messages with toreply before running, with dates ranging from today to two months ago.

I ran it and nothing happened: $ php5 -f remailer.php

BTW, should I use php4 or php5?

On the first run it said this: Warning: fopen(./.mails): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/chiefinnovator/Desktop/remailer.zip_FILES/remailer.php on line 24

php4 or php5 should be fine,

I know there is that warning at first,but this is also only a 33% release :-)

You should now have 7 mails in your inbox with links to the original emails and also a file called .mails in /home/chiefinnovator/Desktop/remailer.zip_FILES/

I would like to adjust project progress, but I cannot move the slider

Screendump

Why can’t i move the slider to 100% now? only 99% was possible
