Hi all,

The Zymail project page is now active:
     <http://sourceforge.net/projects/zymail/>

A mailing list is incubating and should be available by morning.   
Forums are also available, but please don't use them if you expect me  
to see your messages.  :)

I've checked the current code into the Subversion repository, which  
you can browse on the web at: <http://zymail.svn.sourceforge.net/ 
viewvc/zymail/>
That's not a very convenient way to actually get the code, however; I  
recommend you get a subversion client, and then use the command

  svn checkout http://zymail.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/zymail zymail

to check out the current revision.  Then, you can navigate to the  
source subdirectory, and open up Zymail.rbvcp in REALbasic.

So what does it do?  Well, you can see a screenshot here:
   <http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=211523>

It has a viewer window with three basic panes; you can pick a folder  
on the left, see the list of messages at top right, and select one of  
those to see the text (either the plain-text body, or text extracted  
>from the HTML) at lower right.  (And yes, at some point we'll allow  
for rearranging these into three panes side by side.)  You get one  
message hard-coded into your Inbox, and you can import any mbox file  
(the imported messages currently get dumped into your inbox as well).

What can't you do?  Lots.  Messages are not saved yet because there  
is no storage code, and there's no way to create, delete, or rename  
mailboxes.  Nor can you move a message to another mailbox, or delete  
it, or open it in its own window.  The splitters are nonfunctional.   
And on and on... hey, it's only two nights' work!

By morning, we should have the mailing list up and working, and those  
interested should sign up there.

Best,
- Joe
