An IMAP mail client for the Mac. It's written in 100% Python within the Cocoa environment (using PyObjC). Inspiration for TinyMail comes from the email-init discussion and the Letters.app project.

Create a .tinymail folder in your home directory with mode 0700. Inside create a file named account.json that looks like this:

{"host": "mail.example.com",
 "login_name": "your-username",
 "login_pass": "j00r p455w0rd"}

Then build and run the project.

At the moment it's a basic IMAP account browser, showing folders and messages, read-only. Communication with the server is done in separate threads.

For the moment sending email is not a priority. I'd like to have solid IMAP support first. Here's the current TODO list:

• unit tests for everything non-GUI
• local message cache
• managing unread status and flags
• uploading, deleting, copying messages

The name tinymail is temporary. Looking for a better name.
