I’m trying to make this little email client that can handle links. It’s main purpose is to crawl all unread emails for links and store them in separate files. There will be one file for each day (so its date controlled). Each file will have a date and it will be filled with the links from all the emails that were sent to the inbox at that day.
Then eventually another script (Java perhaps) will open that file, go through the links and open them all in a browser.
This is how far I’ve come, with alot of help from djlosch at gentoo.org (great guy).
There are some issues. First, I cannot get those http:// links written to files, and it is very basic at the moment. There are no date stamps or whatever and I have no idea how to create that java script to open the links. Also, I dont know how to mark emails as read so that it wont open the emails twice.
So I ask you guys here for help. Any views?
