Speedy Mail Software

[Uri Even-Chen]

To Django users,

I'm interested in creating a new webmail platform based on Python and Django (with jQuery and JavaScript), which will be free software & open source - Speedy Mail Software. I created a project called Speedy Mail Software on sourceforge, and I'm looking for people who will participate in writing code for this project. I renamed the project to Speedy Mail Software because Speedy Mail will be the webmail itself, based on Speedy Mail Software but with a domain and a mail server(s), so people will able to create an account there and use the mail services of the website. I'm also trying to convince computer science students from the college I graduated (The academic college of Tel Aviv - Yaffo) to participate in this project.

I also have another idea - I want to create a Python Web Toolkit, which will be similar to Google Web Toolkit - people will write code in Python, and it will run on the server side, and on the client side with JavaScript (it will compile Python code to JavaScript, like Google Web Toolkit from Java to JavaScript). Please let me know if you want to participate in any of these projects (I can also create a project for the second project in sourceforge if there will be developers interested). I will also try to ask in the main Python list (pytho...@python.org), let me know if there is any other relevant list.

Thanks,

Uri.

Interesting. I have once contemplated building a webmail software that reads emails so customers don't lose emails upon switching webhosts. Hence, your Speedy Mail Software interests me. I'd love to be a part of the team.

Great idea it's.

Regards.

my first contribution is: don't use sourceforge, use anything else

Well, there are lots of webmail systems out there today, from classical
ones like SqurrelMail and Horde to more modern ones like RoundCube.

One possibility that might be interesting to explore, and could perhaps
make a JavaScript front-end easier to develop would be to expose the
email via a WebDAV-based interface, much as we have CalDAV and CardDAV
for calendaring and contacts, you'd have "MailDAV" which would
facilitate IMAP-like functionality over WebDAV.

I think a similar scheme is used with Outlook Web Access, although you
probably want to avoid the insanity that is MAPI, the email should be
stored in the form it was received. I've seen what happens when mail
systems try to be "clever": Zarafa is one such system and it's a hideous
mess.

That sounds an awful lot like the Pyjamas (now called PyJS) framework.

I haven't lost my mind...
...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.

Hi Abdulhakim,

I'm sorry that only now I saw your message. You are welcome to contribute to Speedy Mail Software. I only use Sourceforge to find more developers, I think I prefer to use Github for Git. If you have any questions, contact me at u...@speedy.net

Thanks,

Uri.

Hi Stuart,

Are you interested in participating in writing code for Speedy Mail Software? And thanks for the link to pyjs, I was not aware of this libraby. So I guess we can just use it and we don't have to create it. I want to use pyjs also for Speedy Mail Software. Please let me know if you can participate in Speedy Mail Software.

Thanks,

Uri.
