Description Michael Schuerig 2004-02-25 18:22:42 UTC 
Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 20040214 (prerelease) (Debian)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.2

It could well be that I'm overlooking something, but I think there are several dcop interfaces missing in KMail. In particular interfaces to access messages and their properties (headers, body text).

I've seen several wishlist bugs asking for a tighter integration of KMail and KOrganizer. Please consider doing this not through special purpose code, but instead with scripts accessing general purpose dcop interfaces.

Please check KMail 1.8 and it's DCOP features. I cooperates fine with KOrganizer (as you can see in Kontact). If you need some special DCOP calls, then please file separate wishes for each of them (or even better discuss the issues on a mailing list like kmail-devel before).

This wish is way to general in the current form, so there is no chance to get a concrete implementation out of it.
Comment 2 Michael Schuerig 2005-06-05 22:25:47 UTC 
I think I was already specific enough to point out missing functionality. Anyway, I had a look at the dcop interfaces of KMail 1.8.1 and I didn't find a way to do just what I asked for originally: access the headers and body text of a message. Denoting a specific message should be possible by some unique ID and by position in folder.

It may well be that this functionality is indeed there and I just didn't find it. If it's indeed not there, please reconsider your judgment an reopen the bug.
Comment 3 Andreas Gungl 2005-06-06 08:18:09 UTC 
Add DCOP interfaces to access headers and body parts of a message identified by an ID (sernum?) or a position in the folder.

We have moved on to DBUS. Is this still valid?
