does anybody fetch their mail using pop3.lsp? I just looked at it for the first time the other day, and it works ok, but doesn't save messages in any format my email client can understand.
Ideally, I'd like to have mail in the mbox format, with filtering, so I can use newlisp instead of something like fetchmail/procmail.
This is not important, I just wondered if anybody has used newlisp for this.
Wikipedia has some info about mbox format. It is apparently quite but not very standard. I think you'll have to convert the raw message text into the correct format. Shouldn't be too hard, but getting the right format first would be the thing.
Hmmm... I'm the fan of newlisp too ;-)
...but take a look on "fetchmail" - it supports almost all you may wish in the mail accounts testing, fetching, forwarding etc.
It can also work with any filter program, which you may write also in newlisp.
I would be intresting to do this with i.e. a Secure Imap client in nelwisp..
Plain text transfer can be done with newlisp yes ..easy...
but there are indeed lots of other ways to retrieve it ;-)
