Is it possible to look at mailboxes via a RSS feed? I use the RSSReader of Firefox for various blogs, and would greatly appreciate to access my mailboxes from this interface.
Could sQwebmail do that? As I understand the program, some part of the templates are in pseudo-HTML pages, but some templates are hard-coded in the C code. So a RSS output is not possible without heavy refactoring of the C code. Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong.
Except that the templates aren't in pseudo-HTML... They _are_ in HTML. It's just that they have replacement strings to fill in some of the content. And that replaced content uses other bits of HTML from the C code.
So basically, you're right. It would be a rather significant amount of work in C to implement something like what you describe.

P.S. I'm not sure I understand the desire for using the RSSReader interface in particular of your browser... when you already have browser based access to your email. Is it that much more convenient somehow? And isn't it a security concern to you? You would still want to login to your mail... wouldn't you? And there's no way to do that with RSS, is there? -- *shrug* It's your business, of course. But it doesn't sound particularly like a good idea to me. I'd love to hear the reasoning behind your desire for it.
