Yes - nice to know it can do that also. For me I need to have
a way of managing large amounts of email (I have about 2mm
messages) including for natural language processing etc.
Dovecot/sieve + pipe facility is ok, but not perfect for
everything. I guess it should work fine for regular ARM etc -
perhaps not an Arduino!
I won't say it's impossible, but it would be cumbersome
processing email on an AVR.
But there are Arduino using ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers too.
I can mention a couple of microcontrollers that have ethernet
support (eg. they need a PHY of your choice and for instance a
HanRun ethernet connector) - Examples are STM32F4xx from
ST-Microelectronics and
LPC1758/LPC1768/LPC1769/LPC177x/LPC178x/LPC43xx from NXP.
There are others from other vendors as well, but those above are
quite popular and very easy to find as stand-alone chips or small
evaluation boards.
I find it particularly interesting to be able to send an email to
a device, which can then process and do some simple things (eg.
turn stuff on/off, send back the room temparature, etc.) - also a
mail-robot would be quite interesting as a stand-alone "thing".
Have a few other things on the boil, and also constrained in
how much time I can spend for various reasons.
I have the exact same problems. ;)
So don't plan or expect on it being finished soon, although I
hope it might be.
It'll be ready when it's ready. When building in small steps, the
job often gets easier.
May you be successful with ease!
