Last night I progressed a bit more with my new project, my own webmail client that will be used by myself, Tom and Hannah for our Total Carnage e-mails. It’s progressing quite well, and is very very AJAX orientated. So far, everything except loading the list of folders is done by AJAX (well, technically AJAJ as I prefer JSON to XML). So far, receiving mail works well, and you can now read and delete mails (although I’ve turned off permanent deletion for now). Take a look at the screenshot to the left to see what it currently looks like! I’m developing it with general users in mind, not just us three, so perhaps one day it might become my first publically released open-source project… Hah! Anyway, yes there is still much to do on it:
- Calendar (make compatible with .ics?)
- Contacts (make import from Hotmail/Gmail etc.?)
- Integration with GMail (download e-mails from Gmail)
- “Goal” scheduler
- Task list
- Full folder support
- Full spam&junk filter
- ?? Phishing filter ??
- Whatever takes my fancy really!
- Maybe make it WAP compatible?
