| Guidelines |
| The goal of the thesis is to design an implement a graphical e-mail client supporting the IMAP4 protocol [1].
The client should focus on standards compliance, including IMAP features such as multiple mailboxes, IDLE notification [4], partial message fetching. It should also support caching retrieved messages for disconnected operation. To connect with an IMAP server, implement at least TCP/IP connection with SSL or TLS [3] encryption. Include at least basic message composition and sending through SMTP or local sendmail-compatible MTA. The implementation should keep portability in mind, the target platform is Linux, C++ and Qt [5] library. |
