PopTray - Plug-ins

Plug-ins Now Supported

PopTray 3.0 (and later) now supports plug-ins. At the moment there are two types of plugins (Protocol, Notify) with more types to follow in future versions of PopTray.

Just install any of the plugins to your PopTray directory and enable it from the options tab in PopTray. Plug-ins can have their own options, so right-click the plug-in to access the options.

Any programmers that want to release their own plug-ins can contact me. If you release it as Open-Source I can host it for download (on SourceForge) and all plug-ins will be listed on this page.

IMAP

01.2004.jul.20

eyebex

This third approach of an IMAP plug-in (written in C++) hopes to solve some issues that both Renier's (from the Delphi plug-in examples package) and mjeveritt's plug-in suffered from due to the Indy IMAP component they used. Supports both IMAP and IMAP over SSL.

No installer included, so you have to manually copy the DLL to your plugins directory.

This plugin will store all the emails that PopTray downloads while checking to a PackRat directory on your hard-drive. This will only work if the option "Download Body while Checking" is switched on.
