Great news on the port! On your issue: Is this module relevant for the platform? Do you know of any existing app that uses the qmail mailbox format?
As a work-around, I can think of several values to substitute for atime: the current time, or the mtime, or perhaps even the max of mtime and ctime. --Guido On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 10:11 AM, Mahesh S <mahesh.sayib...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am from the PyS60 (Python port on S60 platform) team.
