mailconfig: User Configurations

In
Example 14-9
,
PyMailGUI’s
mailconfig
user
settings module is listed. This program has its own
version of this module because many of its settings are unique for
PyMailGUI. To use the program for reading your own email, set its
initial variables to reflect your POP and SMTP server names and login
parameters. The variables in this module also allow the user to tailor
the appearance and operation of the program without finding and editing
actual program logic.

As is, this is a single-account configuration. We could generalize
this module’s code to allow for multiple email accounts, selected by
input at the console when first imported; in an upcoming section we’ll
see a different approach that allows this module to be extended
externally.

Example 14-9. PP4E\Internet\Email\PyMailGui\mailconfig.py

"""
################################################################################
PyMailGUI user configuration settings.
Email scripts get their server names and other email config options from
this module: change me to reflect your machine names, sig, and preferences.
This module also specifies some widget style preferences applied to the GUI,
as well as message Unicode encoding policy and more in version 3.0. See
also: local textConfig.py, for customizing PyEdit pop-ups made by PyMailGUI.
Warning: PyMailGUI won't run without most variables here: make a backup copy!
Caveat: somewhere along the way this started using mixed case inconsistently...;
TBD: we could get some user settings from the command line too, and a configure
dialog GUI would be better, but this common module file suffices for now.

# (optional) control how PyMailGUI opens mail parts in the GUI;
# for view window Split actions and attachment quick-access buttons;

# the GUI, and Split saves parts in a directory but does not open them;
# verifyPartOpens used by both Split action and quick-access buttons:
# all known-type parts open automatically on Split if this set to False;
# verifyHTMLTextOpen used by web browser open of HTML main text part:

okayToOpenParts = True # open any parts/attachments at all?
verifyPartOpens = False # ask permission before opening each part?
verifyHTMLTextOpen = False # if main text part is HTML, ask before open?
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (optional) the maximum number of quick-access mail part buttons to show
# in the middle of view windows; after this many, a "..." button will be
# displayed, which runs the "Split" action to extract additional parts;
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
maxPartButtons = 8 # how many part buttons in view windows
# *** 3.0 additions follow ***
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (required, for fetch) the Unicode encoding used to decode fetched full message
# bytes, and to encode and decode message text stored in text-mode save files; see
# the book's Chapter 13 for details: this is a limited and temporary approach to
# Unicode encodings until a new bytes-friendly email package parser is provided
# which can handle Unicode encodings more accurately on a message-level basis;
# note: 'latin1' (an 8-bit encoding which is a superset of 7-bit ascii) was
# required to decode message in some old email save files I had, not 'utf8';
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fetchEncoding = 'latin-1' # how to decode and store full message text (ascii?)
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (optional, for send) Unicode encodings for composed mail's main text plus all
# text attachments; set these to None to be prompted for encodings on mail send,
# else uses values here across entire session; default='latin-1' if GUI Cancel;
# in all cases, falls back on UTF-8 if your encoding setting or input does not
# work for the text being sent (e.g., ascii chosen for reply to non-ascii text,
# or non-ascii attachments); the email package is pickier than Python about
# names: latin-1 is known (uses qp MIME), but latin1 isn't (uses base64 MIME);
# set these to sys.getdefaultencoding() result to choose the platform default;
# encodings of text parts of fetched email are automatic via message headers;
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mainTextEncoding = 'ascii' # main mail body text part sent (None=ask)
attachmentTextEncoding = 'ascii' # all text part attachments sent (utf-8, latin-1)
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (optional, for send) set this to a Unicode encoding name to be applied to
# non-ASCII headers, as well as non-ASCII names in email addresses in headers,
# in composed messages when they are sent; None means use the UTF-8 default,
# which should work for most use cases; email names that fail to decode are
# dropped (the address part is used); note that header decoding is performed
# automatically for display, according to header content, not user setting;
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
headersEncodeTo = None # how to encode non-ASCII headers sent (None=UTF-8)
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (optional) select text, HTML, or both versions of the help document;
# always shows one or the other: displays HTML if both of these are turned off
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
showHelpAsText = True # scrolled text, with button for opening source files
showHelpAsHTML = True # HTML in a web browser, without source file links
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (optional) if True, don't show a selected HTML text message part in a PyEdit
# popup too if it is being displayed in a web browser; if False show both, to
# see Unicode encoding name and effect in a text widget (browser may not know);
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
skipTextOnHtmlPart = False # don't show html part in PyEdit popup too
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (optional) the maximum number of mail headers or messages that will be
# downloaded on each load request; given this setting N, PyMailGUI fetches at
# most N of the most recently arrived mails; older mails outside this set are
# not fetched from the server, but are displayed as empty/dummy emails; if this
# is assigned to None (or 0), loads will have no such limit; use this if you
# have very many mails in your inbox, and your Internet or mail server speed
# makes full loads too slow to be practical; PyMailGUI also loads only
# newly-arrived headers, but this setting is independent of that feature;
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fetchlimit = 50 # maximum number headers/emails to fetch on loads
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (optional) initial width, height of mail index lists (chars x lines); just
# a convenience, since the window can be resized/expanded freely once opened;
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
listWidth = None # None = use default 74
listHeight = None # None = use default 15
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# (optional, for reply) if True, the Reply operation prefills the reply's Cc
# with all original mail recipients, after removing duplicates and the new sender;
# if False, no CC prefill occurs, and the reply is configured to reply to the
# original sender only; the Cc line may always be edited later, in either case.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
repliesCopyToAll = True # True=reply to sender + all recipients, else sender
