Mailbox-Plugin / Introduction

Mailbox is a plugin for the Video Disk Recorder (VDR) by Klaus Schmidinger.

The Mailbox-plugin provides access to multiple e-mail accounts to display the contained e-mails on the On-Screen-Display (OSD) of the Video Disk Recorder.

The plugin has the following features:

Display the e-mails of multiple IMAP or POP3 accounts.
Due to the fact that IMAP provides more features than POP3, several plugin functions are only available when working with IMAP accounts.

Multiple displays:

Mailbox-View:	Shows a list of all mail accounts with the total amount as well as the number of new mails.
MailList-View:	Shows the list of mails within one mail account with status-flags, subject and sender.
Mail-View:	Shows subject, sender, date/time, status-flags and the body of a mail.

Periodic check of the mail accounts and execute several configurable actions if new mail has been received:
- Display a status message on the OSD; pressing OK opens the mail account.
- Show the number of new mails in the main menu entry of the plugin.
- Start an external application.
Additionally the presence of new mail can be queried by other plugins using the internal service interface. As an example this could be used by skin-plugins to show a suitable icon within the status displays on the OSD.

Display and set/clear the status-flags new [N], flagged [F] and deleted [D] in the MailList-View and in the Mail-View.

The access to e-mails or configuration data of an account can be protected with a numerical code. To open the mail or the configuration view the code needs to be entered with the remote control.

In every view of the plugin an information page can be opened which shows all key assignments of the remote control.
