Think it would make sense to ghost/disable "get mail" (both toolbar and menu) when there is no "active" pop-accopunt. A rare case, I know...

Thought I had suggested this before, but as I cannot find it...

I'd love it, if there was a feature, where I could set a default user, which is used (silently) when I start YAM. By request (ie. holding a qualifier) on startup, there could be the normal user-selection-window. The reason for this, I am almost the only one to use YAM here. Theoretically my Girlfind does have an account, too. But she uses it almost never. Now I have to select my account every time I start YAM. It would be nice if YAM just "logged me in" and for the very rare case where she really needs it, she'd press the quallifier and the window would pop up where she could select here account on startup.

Could this dream come true - one day?

Don't know it the addressbook list is the only list in YAM where it does not work, but it would be nice if it worked there, too (and not just via menu). Think "title sorting" is a fast and easy way for the user.

All in title...

Since YAM 2.4 now support hierachical folders, it would be nice to allow duplicate folder name. Since I could now classify my folder in category, I would like to organize them logically, like:

+ Mac OS X
| + News
| + Maling Lists
| + ...
+ AmigaOS
+ News
+ Mailing lists
+ ...

Right now it's impossible. It would be necessary to generate an hidden unique ID or use the full path reference to associate filter move function to folder instead of just the folder name.

By the way, this reference to an hidden ID would be far better and would be more flexible than name reference. When a user will change a folder name, it would not be necessary to change all filter associated to this folder.

Would be nice if YAM-prefs jumped to the bottom of the list, when you add a filter rule with "more". So you see right away what's going on.

How about adding a (settable) delay similar for mail-viewing, when scrolling up/down in the folderlist. So this is more fluent and the content/maillist is not updated/shown immediately.

Mail filters could support "group" as selectable. This would mean that I could filter mails from certain people belonging to a named group in my address book in the same folder. This gets useful e.g. if different people are talking about similar subjects but without using a mailing-list. It would also make setting filters much easier instead of defining a new filter for every person/subject/whatsoever by just tearing the person into the address book group. Think of special folders for collecting all kind of invioces into one folder, newsletters or mails from your financial institutes, others for everything related to your career (applications and such) and yet others for all friends. So when a sender is contained in one of those groups all mails by him go to the defined folder.

When typing search data in the main "Find Message" window or in the Filters->Comparison section of the prefs, I find it awkward that search text doesn't remain available when cycling through different options. For example, if I enter a name under the "From field", that name disappears from the string gadget for most other searches, like Subject, Message Body, Whole Message, etc. With the exception of "Message size", these are all still strings, and I wish YAM would stop second-guessing whether my data applies in this or that situation.

If one attaches many huge files to a mail, it took sometime quite a long time to pack&add those archive to the mail. But you never know when it is ready again.

For example, you could put in a progress bar which show the status of the packing or e.g. a counter in percent.

I, for one, use LZX to pack smaller or larger files to a mail. The larger ones do need quite a while.

Could someone implement it (if it`s possible) in one of the next versions? Please!

A global save-dir is ok, but nicer would be a "local" one, ie. have dirs set for each MIME-type. So one could have stuff saved directely where it belongs to. E.g. IBrowse does have this with its download-dir. Very cool! Every app should have it this was. In addition a little checkmark/option "open requester" could be added. If checked the user can still change the dir for each case.

As browsers tend to underline links it would be nice if YAM could do this, too. So could you add "underline URL" in the prefs, where the color can be set for URLs. Guess it's not that hard and it can man the users look more consitent. Thanks.

It would be nice to have a feature that allows you to start a new mail without References: headers and similar but still to the same mailing list that you are currently browsing. The To: field should be pre-filled and an option to include the text or not from the current mail should be available.

Security and own Privacy gets more important every day.

Yam should support GnuPG native. ​http://www.gnupg.org/ PGP on Amiga is quite outdated.

GnuPG support would add up to date PGP support to YAM in an easy way.

There exsits ports for the amiga os/morphos etc.

Shouldnt be to much work as i guess its not to much more then other options calling the gnupg executable.

The attached message is a HTML message that YAM 2.5-dev-20061108 [OS4/PPC] won't display. Even with "Convert viewable HTML message parts to plain text" unchecked, the message is still not displayed nor is there any attachment icon.

When I have mails in outgoing folder they will not send until I hit the button 'send'. This is annoying when you have filters running and have to hit everytime the send button.

Therefore I would like to have the option to send mails in outgoing folder after YAM checked for new mails.

Also a notice when you send a single mail and hit 'send now' that there are still messages for send in the outgoing folder.

In the "Search in" popup there are a number of options, the first six being in bold type to indicate these headerss are indexed.

Currently there is no option to search for your term in all of the indexed headers only. Although there is a "Message headers" option, this means every message needs to be searched which is very time consuming with a very large collection of messages.

It would be very useful to add a "Indexed message headers" option and change the current Message headers item to "All message headers" to clearly differentiate. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to place the "Indexed message headers" option below the bolded header options too, and "All message headers" below that.

Would it be possible to add google anti email phishing support in YAM. For example when such an email is opened (either in standalone window, or in preview pane) before displaying anything (i.e. at the same time email decoding is done, or just before) a warning could be emitted letting the user to either choose to continue or cancel the view.

Google's anti-phishing-email is at : ​http://code.google.com/p/anti-phishing-email-reply/

The returned result of the new REQUESTFILE command is unexpected, as not documented. I suggest to add in the guide that the result has the form: <drawer> <total files> <file 0> <file 1> ... (BTW, I think it is better to enclose the drawer and file names with double-quotes, due to possible spaces in them.)

When the STEM keyword is used, RESULT is undef (?) (Could be documented as well.)

Finally, how about a NOICONS switch ?

A common usage problem with email clients is that while writing an email the action of attaching a file is often forgotten. So it is very common that people send around a mail where they say that they are going to attach something, but suddenly they send out the mail without any attachment at all.

Therefore, other email clients like Thunderbird 3+ now have a feature to try to identify semi-automatically that the author of an email is going to attach a file while writing an email. In TB3 this seems to be done by searching for common words like "attachment", "Anhang", "pdf" or other words (have to be analysed/found in the TB code).

IMHO it would be a very nice thing to have a similar feature in YAM so that a warning appears similar to an empty subject warning right before a mail is sent out. However, we have to find out what TB3 is really doing to identify the case of reminding for an attachment.

This feature has already been partially discussed, but the issue is still a blocker problem for me: I can't operate on freshly imported mails because I found no way to identify those mails.

My suggestion is to allow the MAILIMPORT to return:

• the INDEX of the last imported mail,
• VAR/K as alternative variable for result,
• <STEM>COUNT : number of imported mails <STEM>NR : the INDEX of the imported mail where NR is a value between 0 and COUNT-1

The same extension could be implemented to MAILEXPORT as well, as it can help, for example, to delete or change status of exported mails.

The current mailing-list feature of YAM is more than just plainly useless. We need to completly rework and even rethink on how to implement it properly and in a more general and intuitive fashion. In fact, each folder should be configurable and linkable to a future user identity and it should be allowed to define default SMTP/signature, etc. settings on a per folder basis.

Besides the wanted GnuPG support for signing/encrypting messages, a future version of YAM should also probably consider implementing S/MIME. The current uptodate RFC for S/MIME can be found here:

​http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5751

Mailers like Thunderbird already support S/MIME and it seems together with AmiSSL such an S/MIME functionality can be implemented quite straight forward.

All context menus should be user configurable. That means, user should be able to configure which menu items to link to a context menu in case the right mouse button is pressed on e.g. a mail item.

It might be very useful to extend YAM to directly use xadmaster.library instead of calling external archive programs like lha. This would allow to not only support multiple archiving formats but also make it easily possible to directly extract single files from such attach mail archives.

The Error handling mechanism (e.g. ER_NewError(), YAM_ER.c) should be reworked to achieve the following things:

1. Introduce a difference between "Errors" and "Warnings" so that YAM might notify the user of things that are of minor priority (e.g. images missing, decoding failure of main mail part, etc.)
2. Rename the whole Error mechanism into a more general "Notification" service/agent thingy.
3. The notification/error window should be changed to contain two areas to present the pending notifications: On the left side a listview with the summary of the pending notifications. On the right a floattext object with the actual message of the notification.
4. Warnings/Errors should be directly differentated via graphical images in the listview. Pending notifications should be bold.
5. Add a functionality to send notifications that won't automatically popup the notification window but show a sign (e.g. in the window bar of YAM) in case minor warnings are shown.

To allow users to edit the hidden (expert) configuration options from within the YAM configuration GUI a possibility should be provided to do that with graphical elements. Instead of providing graphical elements for each single hidden option a generic config edit can be provided by simply putting a listview in the config GUI which carries columns for the name, a description and the value. Then this entry could be editable.

However, as soon as a user would like to open that config edit tool a warning requester should be presented. This functionality would more or less work similar to what Thunderbird or Firefox provides when editing "about:config".

Today when most European countries switched to daylight saving time (DST), I noticed a bug in YAM25dev (am using the version from 27 March for m68k on AMIGA OS3.9BB2):

I have the main window listview configured to show the message date. After switching to DST, all times were increased by one hour, including the ones of mails received during standard time.

This is easy to reproduce:

Begin with DST, GMT+2 in my case, note the times displayed for some mails in a folder received during before (GMT+1) and after (GMT+2) the DST switch. Then uncheck the DST switch in the YAM config-"First steps". All times are changed.

Of course one can always open the mail to get the correct time including time zone info form the Date header field, and one may thus argue that this is a case for a feature request. However, I consider this a bug.

Hi Develoers

I think YAM does not support the UTF-8 encoding correct.

Here is a Step by Step example: 1. Write a new Mail (Type and To and Subject). 2. Switch to the Options Tab. 3. Select UTF-8 as Charset. 4. Switch back to the Message Tab. 5. Type some non ASCII Letters (e.g. the Euro Sign and ��� ��� �). 6. Click "Hold". 7. Switch to the Outguing Folder. 8. Select the Mail you just wrote. 9. Click Read in the Toolbar. 10. Look at the Content-Type it's text/plain; charset=UTF-8 11. But in the Mail you see "? ? ???" but it should "� ��� ��� �"

The cause it that YAM does not encode the Mail to UTF-8 if you click on the "Hold" Button. If you then open the Mail for Read YAM seems to try to decode the UTF-8 Mail but can't find any UTF-8 sequence and you see the question marks.

Hope anybody can fix that...

TIA

Best Regards Frank (Opi) Weber

I think it is not nice that YAM removes any "two chars and colon"-strings on reply from the subject. E.g. a subject starting with "OT:" should keep this string. Or try to send a MAC-Addresse like "AB:CE:1A:0F" and see what's left of it.

YAM.guide should contain a section explaining common pit falls concerning file names, especially when these file names are passed to YAM's ARexx handling function.

This section should cover handling of file names containing spaces and other special characters which might cause problems with dos/ReadArgs() (see bug #635893) and hence either need to be escaped or surrounded by quotes.

It would be nice to have a feature added to the "Max. age" in the folder configuration, that made it possible to move old mail to another folder (on a per-folder basis) instead of just deleting it.

Currently there is no way to specify the file location for the .addressbook file. It default to .YAM (or If I read the code correctly the "MailDir".

If it is placed in the .config file, users can have separate address books.

In my case, I want to store the data separate from the program files. The adress book defaults in YAM: and I have two separate user directories for the configuration files.

Beginning with version 2.3 of YAM, the message list scrolls automatically to the oldest unread message whenever a folder is opened.

While this is a good idea for some folders (like incoming, or any folder where I keep current on all messages), for others it is not. I follow a number of mailing lists in which I read messages only sporadically, and I keep several months of messages online. With such groups, it takes an extra couple of seconds to open the folder because of scanning for read/unread messages, and then I have to manually scroll back to the current messages to see what's new. I don't want to manually mark all messages as read, because it's an extra step and because it is useful for me to know which old messages I've looked at and which I haven't.

Could this process of scanning for the oldest unread message upon opening a folder be made optional on a folder-by-folder basis? That would give us all the best of both worlds.

Currently the "DATE" field listed in the header information when reading a mail is exactly what the message contains, where as the date field for the message list is the "converted to local time" version. Could the read window display this converted value also as it is sometimes inconvenient and not aways possible to look at the message list?

I'm not asking for the original mail to be changed maybe something like...

2.3/4: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 12:28:09 -0400

2.x: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 12:28:09 -0400 (17:28:09)

YAM 2.8-dev [OS4/PPC]

Start YAM and open the "search"-gui, leave it open. Now go to YAM's main window and add a new folder. This will (of course?) not instantly be shown in the "search-list". But even when you now close the search-gui and reopen it, the folder still won't show up. Seems the GUI only checks the list of available folders once?
