Outlook Express 2019 in development for SymbOS

Why the 'Express'? I like SymbOs Mail

MSX -even R800- cannot process TLS without the help of additional hardware. However, it is fairly simple to build a TLS proxy in our regular computer to talk with with TLS secured versions of POP, IMAP and SMTP. So the scheme would be:

MSX <----- SMTP -------> Proxy computer <------>  SMTPS <--------> Server

A good software for doing this is stunnel. Dropbox MSX client from Konamiman followed this strategy since the Dropbox API required HTTPS.

Indeed, you have quite a lot of work and possibilities to do with the client. Don't worry about the encryption part, that's something you can leave to the IT department

Wow! Pefect! Thanks for the hint. I renamed it But with a small wink the Microsoft Express

Thank you all for kind words and suggestions. Th GUI is 90% complete. It was time consuming to do that, but fun. Currently i started on the network part. First sending than receiving.. I created some kind of data store on the disk. But you need fat16 for that. This because i use a directory structure to store data. This because of the amount of data i have to handle ...it is very hard to do everything in memory so that is the reason i have to store parts on disk and get it back.

I made a small movie just to show the progress a bit. In the movie i add items to the address-book, create a new email, send it, and remove it again. (All sgainst the local network daemon in SymbOS)

Still in development

I already installed a email server @home.. so next step is to talk to that ;)
