freepops

[carodiavolo]

I'm not so smart in this field, so, before I make some mess... better I ask... :D

I'm going out for summer holidays and usually i keep one PC up to serve freepops (http://www.freepops.org/en/download-linux.shtml) for a couple of email accounts, to keep in sync with my Android phone.

So... i'm askin' to myself (and you) if is possible to compile and make it working that directly on the NAS instead of keeping the PC up at home.


Many thanks for any answer...

I'm trying to make the brave... ;)

As now, I'm stopping here... any idea ?

there is no compiler installed present in the firmware. To use it as compiler and commands like "make" you need to set up some special features, and extra librairies, not easy to explain. I will see if I can compile it for you one of these days

I looked at freepops and found it is a pop3 server. Don't know if it will work on our Nas, can take some time

I tried to compile it, but there is a problem with the source code, the routine getdate_lua.c is causing problems

* What is this? *

FreePOPs is an extensible pop3 server. Its main purpose is to provide a pop3
interface to a webmail.

*

Is used to download emails from providers that doesn't permit to use POP when connected from other providers (like libero in Italy).
When you are connected by another provider you can use only webmail.
So freepops is a trick to go around this limit.

BTW don't waste alot of time, I will keep my PC on 24/7 as ever... :D

Many thanks again :mrgreen:

on short term I can not solve it, but I will put it on the wish list, could a nice feature
