It's like foster care

• get a reasonable linux dev environment
• install sugar-build (http://sugarlabs.org/~buildbot/docs/build.html)
• install sugar-emulator and sugar-session (package names may vary from distro to disro)
• sudo python setup.py install
• run the emulator! (sugar-emulator -F for windowed mode)
• see how lame it looks!

• sweetmail.py - the main activity, calls a bunch of stuff
  • configure.py - parses %activityroot%/data/config.txt to get pop3 account credentials
    • accounts.py - defines the types of accounts and their subtypes. the main pop3 function is in accounts.POPStoreAccount.retreive_all.
  • bgsrt.py - the "background send/receive thread", hoping to phase this out into only being run at startup, and at user request
  • tracker.py - this doesn't appear to do much right now, it appears it WANTS to be an error reporter type thing, letting the user know where in a given process it failed
  • utility.py - only used for check_online() right now, which is dependent on Network Manager.
  • EVERYTHING ELSE - have not played with much, as it isn't directly related to pop stuff...

• code review
• get this thing running
• find the applicable libraries
• get reading functional - in progress
  • needs mail fetching - wyatt can do this!
  • needs mailbox functionality - ability to select and open messages - kody and alex can do this!
  • default to opening inbox tag
  • send receive button needs to call bgsrt.run()
  • stop downloading messages that we already have! Compare against metadata.db?
    • get just Message-Id from remote mailbox?
• get sending functional

1. Make pretty icons and artwork
2. SSL / TLS support I think this is actually pretty trivial - set the "auth_type" in config.txt to "SSL"?
3. attachment / image support
4. better error reporting besides a log file

1. openPGP
