[sup-devel] Turn Turnsole into a generic mail client
Hi William and others,
As Turnsole is a great mail interface, I was thinking about having it generic to multiple servers or mail sources, to fit many use cases.
Explicitely, the Turnsole::Client class (https://github.com/wmorgan/turnsole/blob/master/lib/turnsole/client.rb) could be turned into a Turnsole::Client module instead,
which implements the necessary abstract methods for the interface, and which needs to be included in every client adapters (like DataMapper adapters are working for instance).
Built-in Turnsole adapters would be in lib/turnsole/client/. That way, we could easily implement Turnsole adapters for many sources, such as:
Heliotrope (for sure, the official adapter),
IMAP (direct connection),
Gmail (simpler adapter using the IMAP adapter),
Maildir/Mbox,
NotMuchMail (which is a great Sup-like email back-end),
upasfs,
etc.
The main reason why I'm posting that, is that I really like the Turnsole ncurses based interface,
but sometimes I'd like to check emails directly from imap (when not on my computer for instance).
I also know that NotMuch is missing a good ncurses-based client (that's why I've Cc'd them).
What do you think? Is there limitations I didn't think about?
