Trojitá

Trojitá — програма для роботи з електронною поштою («клієнт»), що спеціалізується на наданні швидкого та ефективного доступу до поштових скриньок за допомогою протоколу IMAP. Самі повідомлення електронної пошти зберігаються на поштовому сервері IMAP, клієнтська програма отримує повідомлення на локальному комп’ютері, коли у цьому виникає потреба.

Призначення програми

Метою створення програми було:

• Уможливити доступ до вашої пошти будь-коли, будь-де.

• Не уповільнювати вашу роботу. Якщо можна покращити ефективність роботи користувача електронної пошти, це варто робити.

• Respects open standards and facilitate modern technologies. We value the vendor-neutrality that IMAP provides and are committed to be as interoperable as possible.

• Is efficient -- be it at conserving the network bandwidth, keeping memory use at a reasonable level or not hogging the system's CPU.

• Can be used on many platforms. One UI is not enough for everyone, but our IMAP core works fine on anything from desktop computers to cell phones and big ERP systems.

• Plays well with the rest of the ecosystem. We don't like reinventing wheels, but when the existing wheels quite don't fit the tracks, we're not afraid of making them work.

Being Fast

Are you tired of other mail programs taking ages to open a "big mailbox"? A unique feature of Trojitá is that it is designed from the ground up to be fast -- opening a mailbox with tens of thousands of messages is something which Trojitá is very good at. There is no need to wait for all messages being downloaded -- or to download them at all.

Respecting Standards

Trojitá's development is conducted with standard conformance in mind. We will never break an Internet standard knowingly, and all possible deviations from best practices will be fixed quickly. We care about the future of IMAP and other e-mail related protocols, we take part in the IETF discussions and have proposed quite a few improvements already. Our aim is to support all useful IMAP extensions to make the user experience better.

Efficiency

Conserving resources is something which we take very seriously -- be it network bandwidth, memory usage or CPU/energy/battery consumption. Among other things, Trojitá implements IMAP's QRESYNC, CONDSTORE, ESEARCH, CATENATE, BURL, COMPRESS=DEFLATE, CONTEXT=SORT extensions (and many more!). Data which were transfered once will not be downloaded again.

Cross-platform Support

Trojitá works well on any reasonable desktop computer thanks to the power of the Qt library -- be it Linux, Windows or a Mac. We don't care what desktop environment you run, but we try to fit into KDE and Gnome if that's what you prefer. Trojitá is also available on cell phones with an optimized, touch-friendly user interface. The same core IMAP library also powers an enterprise CRM product.

What Trojitá is not:

• A full PIM suite. That's something which we leave to other applications, so you won't find a fully fledged calendar in Trojitá. But you might help us make Trojitá a part of a fully-fledged PIM if you're interested.

• A POP3 client. Trojitá works by accessing a remote mail store over the IMAP protocol. POP3 cannot work this way for technical reasons.

• Feature complete. Perhaps something which you would really like to see is still missing from Trojitá. We are working pretty hard on making Trojitá the best MUA, but we could definitely use a help.

Some highlights of Trojitá are

• Програму побудовано лише на бібліотеках Qt4 (та Qt5!), вона не потребує додаткових компонентів.

• Надійне ядро IMAP, реалізоване на основі бібліотек системи модель-перегляд Qt.

• Сумісність зі стандартами, яка є однією з основних цілей розробників.

• Завантаження списку та тексту повідомлень на вимогу («відкладене завантаження»).

• Підтримка роботи з IMAP у автономному режимі.

• Support for bandwidth-saving mode aimed at mobile users with expensive connection

• IMAP over SSH -- in addition to usual SSL/TLS connections, the server could be accessed via SSH

• Safe and robust dealing with HTML mail
