New Server List Dialog & Server Wizard

The wizard for adding server has changed a little bit.

In this scenario everything but your mail address and password are "guessed" by MyOE. It's a little bit easier and faster to configure.

There is also a "Test" button on the server settings, so you can be sure it works before closing the window.

Step 1 : the settings Step 2 : MyOE guess your settings Step 3 : all this is prefilled by MyOE. Step 4 : all this is prefilled by MyOE. Step 5 : It's done

MyOE will also create an identity for your new mail account, this way you'll be able to send mail with your mail address as the from/reply-to field of your mails.

The server list dialog, also changed a little bit, it's easier, more clear.

Hi, first of all, where is MyOE 0.11? It's available for a little while now. Basically it just fix important bugs of 0.10 so it's usable.

Who wanna test this version?

What's up for MyOE 0.12?
  • New Server Configuration wizard: you only have to put your mail address and password, MyOE does the rest (well try to ;). The main idea is that MyOE is trying some common pop/smtp server setting combination, the biggest advantage is that you only have to enter to parameter to get a working myoe.

  • New To/CC/Bcc fields:
    • Detect contact and underline them
    • Completion (as before)

  • Indexed mail now are case insensitive (makes a lot more sense).

MyOE 0.10 is out!

MyOE 0.10 is out! The biggest feature of this version is the HTML mail editing, signature and enhanced search. There have been also lot of bug fixes, optimization and little enhancement. Definitly a must have version.

Also it's the first version not marked as "alpha" or "beta", the code start to become stable enough, and we've got enough feature.

Download it from http://www.sf.net/projects/myoe !

For a list of feature: http://myoedev.blogspot.com/2006/10/whats-up-for-myoe-010.html

Html Editor in progress

In order to provide MyOE 0.10 html e-mail editing, I'm working on the HTML editor component. Currently based on http://www.itwriting.com/htmleditor/index.php

I'm doing some UI work, in order to get it ... usable, and because a screenshot is often better than words, here it is:

The next step will be investigating template mechanism in order to let people send beautiful mail.

I also want an easy "reply inline" feature, with coloring, etc...

What's up for MyOE 0.10...?

[updated 11/11/2006]

Current list of changes:

  • No more cross thread in splash screen on first run and for progress line
  • Fix double event entry added in gcalendar while synching
  • Event synching now use one thread per calendar (a lot faster)
  • Event categories are thread safe (should be :p)
  • Big memory improvement: I've fixed an important leak occurring at each mail manipulation (new mail, move mail, filter mail, etc...). MyOE is still quite memory consuming, but it's a lot better now.
  • HTML mail view now show whitespace correctly. Before "<b>test</b> test" was rendered as "testtest" and not "test test".
  • Support for SSL for SMTP server: you can now use google smtp!
  • Signature Handling: The identity option will be back again! You select an identity while writing a mail, it will change the signature, the from, and the reply-to address. The perfect solution to void corporate signature to friend ;)
  • And the last but not least: HTML mail editing, you can now put some formatting in your mail, include images, etc... There are still lot of work to do, but I've managed to send my first mail with some pictures.
  • New Attachment List display, allows removing attachment when composing
  • Last search folder, will show the last complete search done on myoe
  • Mail from/to this contact, click on a contact and show his last mail
  • Added reply-to field on message sent, will allow correct reply even with non-relay smtp, or smtp that change the from address.
  • Message grouping and sorting menu works again as expected (you can sort by subject, from, to, message size, and of course date)

I'll update this post as soon as I get more changes...

This is mainly a bug fixes release.

  • Google Calendar is working (again)
  • Various small fixes
  • Optimized version (not debug), should be a lot faster on some system.

MyOE .NET 0.9 coming soon...

I've been quite busy those days (changing job), but the next version of MyOE is coming soon:

  • Fix the bug with the calendar and google (synch issue, import calendar).
  • Contact display now allow to change contact category.
  • Bug fixes

If you want to get a preview, here is how to compile myoe:

  1. Get latest myoe code from Sourceforge (install Tortoise SVN if you don't have any client).
  2. If you don't have any IDE, install Visual C# Express Edition or SharpDevelop (if it's only for a quick test, I recommand the latest, rather good, fast to install and download). They're both free.
  3. Simply open the myoe solution, and press "F5".
  4. If you have any problem, post a comment, I'll fix asap.

Google Calendar inside MyOE!

I've managed to use google calendar API to synchronize google calendars with MyOE, it's based on the pocket pc synchronization code (not very fast), it's not perfect (we still need recurrence for instance), but it's a good start.

All you have to do is to click on the "Add google calendar" button and enter your login password, you'll get a list of your google calendar, and you'll be able to add them to myoe.

And also here is a preview of the new calendar control integrated inside MyOE:

MyOE.NET 0.8 is coming... ;)

What's for 0.8?

I'm starting to work on the MyOE release, change will include:

  • bug fixes (it's critical to send me any problem, especially the blocking one)
  • New calendar display

I'm rewriting from scratch the calendar display control, it's starting to work as expected, it will fix the display of multiday event, be more easy on the eyes and will fix the design flaw related to calendar display (mixing presentation and business layer). I've also greatly enhance the algorythm used to display concurrent event, it's almost perfect now.

And because a picture is worth a thousand words: (all we need to do now is integrate in myoe, match the color, and ... lot of stuff)

  • Performance and memory enhancement
  • Remove the newsgroup support (not required by users, buggy)
  • Synchronized iCal events display
  • Easier contact management

This is still an alpha release, but we're getting closer to the feature freeze (maybe :p).

Uh and you can get it from here: http://www.sf.net/projects/myoe

Subversion repository

I've just added the source (lot of change since last CVS commit), but on subversion this time.

You can access the subversion repository from: https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/myoe/

Note: it should work, if you have any problem, contact me.

MyOE with Contact Picture

I just added to the mail client contacts picture, with that feature, you simply add picture to your contact (like you would do in Windows Live Messenger), and you can see the contact picture in your contact list and mails.

(See Dilbert's picture here)
