Contents

Content Types

InBox:

Provides an XMLRPCView to access it’s drop method. Dropping a mailstring ( a plaintext string containing the whole email including envelope), a plone content type Email will be generated, the data field will contain the mailstring.

Email:

File like content type conatining the mailstring inside the data field. View registered for IEmail: emailview ( as standard view ) shows:

  • headers Subject, From, To, Cc

  • body (prefers text/html parts over text/plain parts)

  • attachments (download link)

Adapters

MailDropBox:

Basic adapter, providing a drop method generating an Email out of the dropped mailstring

BlogMailDropBox:

Advanced adapter, creating a news item out of the dropped mailstring.

EventMailDropBox:

Advanced adapter, creating an event out of text/calendar attachments inside the dropped mailstring

Utilities

BaseDropBoxFactory:

Used to find objects providing IMailDropBoxMarker with id=key. Used by the deliver action in mailtoplone.contentrules.

ICalEventFactory:

Taking an icalendar string, this utility creates an ATEvent out of each VEVENT. The implementation supports keywordarguments, passing them to invokeFactory. This implementation correctly imports events exported from plone, as a first approach. It is used by the EventMailDropBox.

MarkerInterfaces

You can use these markerinterfaces (@@manage_interfaces) to mark a folder for mailtoplone (remember to reindex the marked object). Afterwards the folder can be found and delivered mails to.

IMailDropBoxMarker(Interface):

“”” marker interface for mail drop boxes “””

IBlogMailDropBoxMarker(IMailDropBoxMarker):

“”” marker interface for blog mail drop boxes “””

IEventMailDropBoxMarker(IMailDropBoxMarker):

“”” marker interface for event mail drop boxes “””

Scripts

Detailed Documentation

mailtoplone.base

Setup TestEnvironment

Setting up a inbox containing email1, email2:

>>> self.setRoles(('Manager',))
>>> self.portal.invokeFactory('InBox', 'inbox')
'inbox'
>>> self.portal.inbox.invokeFactory('Email', 'email1')
'email1'
>>> self.portal.inbox.invokeFactory('Email', 'email3')
'email3'

Adapter

Let’s test the drop function useable with the MailDropBox Adapter, The dropped mails get their id’s using the NameChooser:

>>> from mailtoplone.base.interfaces import IMailDropBox
>>> IMailDropBox(self.portal.inbox).drop("some data")
>>> IMailDropBox(self.portal.inbox).drop("some data")
>>> IMailDropBox(self.portal.inbox).drop("some data")
>>> self.portal.inbox.objectIds()
['email1', 'email3', 'email', 'email-1', 'email-2']

Let’s test some values of a created email:

>>> self.portal.inbox.email.title
'email'
>>> self.portal.inbox.email.data
'some data'
>>> self.portal.inbox.email.meta_type
'Email'

Browserview xmlrpcview

Let’s test if the xmlrpcview has a drop method which creates an Email in the inbox:

>>> theview = self.portal.inbox.restrictedTraverse('xmlrpcview')
>>> theview.drop("dropped via view")
>>> self.portal.inbox.objectIds()
['email1', 'email3', 'email', 'email-1', 'email-2', 'email-3']
>>> self.portal.inbox.listFolderContents()[5].data
'dropped via view'

Email title

We generate the tile for email objects out of the subject, otherwise we’ll take the id.

First, let’s create various minimalistic emails:

>>> withsubject = 'subject: withsubject'
>>> withSubject = 'Subject: withSubject'
>>> withbetreff = 'betreff: withbetreff'
>>> withBetreff = 'Betreff: withBetreff'

Let’s drop this emails to our inbox:

>>> theview.drop(withsubject)
>>> self.portal.inbox.listFolderContents()[6].Title()
'withsubject'

>>> theview.drop(withSubject)
>>> self.portal.inbox.listFolderContents()[7].Title()
'withSubject'

>>> theview.drop(withbetreff)
>>> self.portal.inbox.listFolderContents()[8].Title()
'withbetreff'

>>> theview.drop(withBetreff)
>>> self.portal.inbox.listFolderContents()[9].Title()
'withBetreff'

If we have multiple subject / betreff / … in our mail, let’s take the first Subject:

>>> theview.drop('Subject: SUB\nBetreff: BET')
>>> self.portal.inbox.listFolderContents()[10].Title()
'SUB'

We decode the subject header for presentation, let’s drop an encoded subject:

>>> theview.drop('Subject: =?ISO-8859-15?Q?=FCld=F6m?=')
>>> self.portal.inbox.listFolderContents()[11].Title() == 'üldöm'
True
