TUXMAIL

With TuxMail you are able to check up to 10 POP3-Email

Accounts directely via your DBOX2 and show informations like Date,

Time, Sender and Subject on your TV-screen and also a short

Information on your LCD . The Feature to read emails or to write

emails is not planned for the future !

The program is made out of 2 parts:

•	the demon (tuxmaild), wich is running in the background and at a

pre-defined time checks for new mail or deletes mail

•	the Plugin (tuxmail.so + tuxmail.cfg), wich will sort the Information on the different accounts and displays these on the TV or LCD.

As soon as the demon finds a new mail you will recieve a optical Information (and optional a audible) to signal the arrival of new emails.This can happen automatically or manual.

Activate Spamfilter

To get rid of the usual Spam Emails the Spamfilter can be activated within the Box. The File spamlist in

the directory /var/tuxbox/config/tuxmail is responsible for thsi and must be made or edited and can

include up to 100 unwanted full email or parts of email addresses. This can happen automatically via the

Plugin .

The deleting from the Mail Server happenes without any further question or confirmation!

Example: one line just with "@" or "." deletes EVERY mail..

USAGE

To start the Plug-in in Neutrino press [BLUE] Key and then choose the Entry "E-Mail".

The Plug-in shows now Account #0 (or if there is new Mail it shows the account with the new Mail) .

Every Email is highlighted in a different colour as such:

This is a new Mail that has arrived since last checked

This mail was already there since the last check

This mail will be deleted when the account is checked next

Choose Account

With [+] [-] / [VOLUME +] [VOLUME -] Keys you can choose your account or jump directely via the

Number Keys [0]...[9].

Delete Mail

With [UP] [Down] Key you can choose the nextMail and with [OK] mark it to delete.

Pressing [OK] again de-selects the Mail again. Pages can be accessed via [Right] [Left]

Keys.

All Mails in a account can be deleted with [RED], New ones with [GREEN] and old

ones with [YELLOW]. The marking of the Emails can be removed again by pressing the

keys.

If you leave the plug-in all the settings will be saved but only executed when the Mail

demon is connected the next time.

Expand the Spamfilter

With the [BLUE] Key the actual selected Email (Sender Address) will be added to the

Spam List. If there was no Spam list before there will be one created automatically . Also

will this email be highlighted to be deleted. If there are already Emails of this sender in

the Database you will have to delete them manually.
