I tried contacting Jun Mukai at the email address given in the package but I haven't heard a reply. Just to get this out of the way I've put my darcs repository with the changes I've made up on my website. It should build and install with:
darcs get http://www.dicta.org.uk/website/website/haskellnet cabal configure cabal build cabal install I've added some examples of using smtp, pop3 and imap to the examples directory. They seem to work against the mail servers that I have access to. I've also removed some modules from haskellnet which are now covered elswhere in hackage: eg. http, browser, json I'll put in a request to get a username on hackage so I can upload it-- unless anyone has any objections. -Rob On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 2:37 PM, Neil Mitchell <ndmitch...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > Email the original author, if you can.
