Re: [SM-PLUGINS] New Plugin: mail_nag

[p d. t. <pdo...@an...>]

Walker,

Thanks for the contribution!

   1) I assume get_folder_size() is the function you use from the 
folder_sizes plugin?  Have you tried installing YOUR plugin in the 
$plugins list BEFORE folder_sizes?  Does it work OK?

   2) It would be nice to see this have an option of using IMAP Quota 
functionality instead of the folder_sizes plugin.  You can easily steal 
code from the quota_usage plugin (or create a patch to add nag 
functionality to that plugin, maybe I'll do that some day...)

   3) Internationalization!  I know it's on your list... it doesn't take 
much more that a few minutes to get a plugin properly internationalized

Let me know the answer to question #1 and I'll get you set up with an 
account to upload the plugin.

Cheers,

  Paul
