Q1:Shall we need a "processing dialog" widget for the case such as waiting for the result of an operation?

Q2:Since "Status Bar" widget has already got removed from the widget page, shall we display the message number in the footer application instead of "Footer Area" ?

AlexQ:Since we will use libsmtp for sending email, what shall we use for receiving email and retrieving email headers (displayed in the detail list)? As is listed in the use case, we should have IMAP4 support, do we need POP3 support as well?

I have managed to download libsmtp package and compiled on my PC, however, the examples contained in the package wouldn't work for a host connecting error. Can mickey give some suggestions? Thanks.

AlexQ: Sending email will surely need an account or choose one from a list, but sending an SMS message will not need this. Is the Account in application menu just for the email, and the opening dialog would be a list? (Eg. email account list) Do we need an interface for user to configure his/her email account?

User:Sean A: Only email and IM will need to configure accounts.

Same question for opening dialog, if I want to insert a file or picture into a message (Eg. send an MMS message), what will happen, should we call the file browser?

User:Sean This will call the File Open Dialog

Another question, is the MMS feature in libgsmd already already support?

User:Sean We don't have any plans for MMS support. It's just too expensive a service for the end user at this point.

Use case: I want to send an email. What email api should I call? In PIM_Storage page, you have mentioned the Embedded EDS, shall we call the camel API in EDS?

User:Mickey libcamel and libnttp from EDS are huge and overcomplicated for what our use cases are -- this is why I have them currently disabled in our build of Embedded EDS. I guess we better grab a small libsmtp for sending mail.
