Cozy Emails lets you read and write your emails from your Cozy. The project is about to start, here are the main features we want to have:

• Simple UI
• Read/write emails
• Multiple mailboxes
• Attachments management (synced with Files!)

We assume here that the Cozy platform is correctly installed on your server.

You can simply install the Emails application via the app registry. Click on ythe Chose Your Apps button located on the right of your Cozy Home.

From the command line you can type this command:

cozy-monitor install emails

You can contribute to the Cozy Emails in many ways:

• Pick up an issue and solve it.
• Translate it in a new language.

Hacking the Emails app requires you setup a dev environment. Once it's done you can hack the emails just like it was your own app.

git clone https://github.com/cozy/cozy-emails.git

Run it with:

node server.js

Each modification of the server requires a new build, here is how to run a build:

cake build

Each modification of the client requires a specific build too.

cd client
brunch watch

We've adopted IMAP naming conventions, which means:

• Account: bound to a provider like Gmail
• Mailbox: equivalent to imap folder
• Message: an email
• Conversation: a thread of Message

Tests suite is based on CasperJS. Tests data are loaded by cozy-fixtures. So, prior to run it, you need to install additional tools:

sudo apt-get install phantomjs
sudo npm install casperjs -g # version >= 1.1 is required.
sudo npm install cozy-fixtures -g

npm run fixtures

To run the client's tests, you also need to start the server:

coffee server.coffee

Then you can run the client's tests:

npm run test:client

Running tests requires a Vagrant. Tests load a Dovecot instance in a Vagrant virtual machine.

Once done, type the following command into the Cozy Emails folder:

cake tests

If you want to add mails to the test suite, type the following lines.

cd node_modules/dovecot-testing
npm link
dovecot-testing import

In order to run the tests, you must only have the Data System started. The tests wont pass if you already have an account in your data-system

Mail loader test is based on the Dovecot Testing repository.
