I checked the jar file, the class MailAccount does not have the above methods. Did you change the plugin description and added the new zip file at the same time ? There's a bug with the upload system which will not update the zip file in this case, so you'll have to do each step separately. Just a guess ...

Dirk

Ah, now I understand. Someone already complained that he didn't see the outcommented protocol element in the mailaccounts.xml. I suppose the complete zip file was not replaced like you suggest. So everyone is still working with version 0.1. I'll upload the 0.2 zip file as soon as I get home.
thanks !

Just uploaded the proper v0.2 zip file.

Hello

This sounds great. Will it work with version 4.1.x of sagetv?

Also, I have a sagetv server, and several clients. If I just wanted to have one of the sagetv clients check some email accounts, I would just install it on the client... and if I wanted to see the same email checking on all clients, then I would install on the sagetv server?

Not sure if thats how it would work. Figured I better ask first

Thanks!

It would be really cool to have a semitransparent popup during video playback to notify you of new messages and the ability to view the message.

yes, not a bad idea. Maybe this is possible by using the caller id plugin.
Will look at this for the next version of this plugin.

thanks,

Will this work from a MediaMVP?

Problem and not sure it can be solved here. I copied the information straight from his MS Outlook, and sure I have the e-mail information correct. It uses SSL, so configured pop3s/995 as it is in MS Outlook. Here's the object definition.

<object class="nl.cmkprojects.sage.mail.MailAccount">
<void property="displayName">
<string>myhost - cavalli</string>
</void>
<void property="host">
<string>myhost.com</string>
</void>
<void property="password">
<string>mypassword</string>
</void>
<void property="username">
<string>cavalli</string>
</void>
<void property="protocol">
<string>pop3s</string>
</void>
<void property="port">
<string>995</string>
</void>
</object>

Here's the problem. His e-mail server is funny. When getting e-mail in Outlook, it brings up a dialog:

"The server you are connected to is using a security certificate that could not be verified. A certificate chain processed correctly, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider. Do you want to continue using this server? Yes/No."

He selects 'yes', and it works fine. That being said, I'm guessing the server is waiting for a 'continue' verification signal from your STVi that it never sends, and fails accordingly. I know the ISP and basically, he's not paying the annual fee for whatever certificate he lacks.

Is there any way you can add a property to your object that allows the connection to continue anyway, regardless of verification?

The STVi looks great, and really hope I can configure it for him. Thanks!

[ToonGal]

Me again. I wanted to get MrPostman to work for him too, but with no success. I verified MrP by getting it to work on Outlook Express on the HTPC computer. His e-mail and mine. Since I can control my e-mail very easily, I used it and to verify MrPostman with your STVi. I mimicked your code, so I'm sure that's not it. (FYI, error in your first post, saying "port1" instead of "port" and "1110" instead of "11110"; probably just misplaced the '1' character.) Just a blank screen. Verified the XML in IE and restarted SageTV cleanly in case it happens on the restart.

Ideas:
- Uncommented the "#" to enable logging in the properties file. can't find the log file.
- Changed 1.4.0_02 to current version of Java installed here. Issue?
- is java.beans.XMLDecoder something I have to install, or part of the JARs in the archive?
- Can I edit the mailaccounts.xml without having to restart?

Thanks again for the help!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<java version="1.5.0_07" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder"> 
 <object class="nl.cmkprojects.sage.mail.MailAccount">

  </void> 
  <void property="host"> 
   <string>localhost</string>

Anyone use this plug-in? I hate bumping topics, but when I ask a question about something, it seems to be the kiss of death.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi ToonGal,

For secure email you really need java 1.5 like it says in the first post of this thread.

Hope this helps.

Hi Chris,

one question: is the second screen (after you select one of the headers) supposed to retrieve and display the email message text ?

Dirk,
The current version does not support this. A next version might implement this. (but I'm rather busy with slim player plugin at the moment).

For anyone trying to use this in SageMC: I cooked up a SageMC specific version of this nice plugin. Chris, feel free to include the attached zip in your download package, or if you prefer I can set up a separate download.

Flachbar...

Thanks for making a SageMC specific version. However once I loaded it in the advanced tab I couldn't find where the Email Checker was. I dont have SageTV v6, so I'm using your latest build of SageMC for SageTV v5 (I believe it's something like v613a). Perhaps you need the SageMC for version 6 for this to work? Just let me know. Thanks!


Update: Well I've added it to my custom menus, but I can't seem to figure out where to add all my pop3 account info. I don't have much experience editing xml files, so any help would be great. Thanks

I've tried setting this up following the directions. So far all I can get it to do is give me an error and says to check the log file. IE doesn't tell me I have any errors when I open the .xml.

If you're trying to do an ssl connection to your email I don't think that works. It's working fine for me and I'm running java 6 and the latest SageMC.

not using ssl (or ssh) on this setup. I have the same login settings in the xml that I use in Thunderbird.

I am probably doing something wrong.
Lets assume my gmail account is abc@gmail.com
user name abc
password 123456

POP3 is enabled under gmail.

So what should I configure under the xml? Which fields I should fill, and which should I leave un touched?

Thanks in advance.
