Description Philip Van Hoof 2006-06-08 08:41:54 UTC 
Currently tinymail doesn't support viewing POP boxes using offline summaries. This makes sorting extremely slow and viewing quite unstable.

Implement a TnyStoreAccountIface that will use a tool like fetchmail to fetch new messages into a mbox or Maildir, and wrap that mbox file or Maildir with a CamelFolder instance from the local camel providers. Also let the instance update itself when new messages arrive.

Or

Implement summaries support in camel/providers/pop3. Given that the provider caches the full messages in CAMEL_DIR/mail/$account/cache, it should be perfectly doable.
