Use your mail client as the UI

Brilliant little script that sets up a basic POP3 and SMTP server on localhost to give Bitmessage an email interface for example that Thunderbird can connect to. This mean the messages can be organised in a local folder structure or easily coped to your IMAP structure.

  1. First enable the Bitmessage API in your local keys.dat configuration file.
  2. Install the PyBitmessage-Daemon script into your home folder (I used git clone git://github.com/Dokument/PyBitmessage-Daemon.git for easy update) and run it with python daemon.py.
  3. Install the bmwrapper into your home (I used git clone again)
  4. Set up an account on your mail client on localhost, POP3 on 12344 and SMTP on 12345 as shown here.
