Updated GTD-PHP POP3 Inbox Import
by dwarfsoft on Aug.04, 2009, under Uncategorized
So I have been using the new script this morning, and testing adding new actions from the GroupWise account at work. Here is where I encountered some issues.
GroupWise decides it wants to MIME Encode the email, which brings about my first problem. I need to account for multiple MIME Parts. After resolving this my next issue is that the corporate email gateway decides to append a massive disclaimer at the bottom of the email, bloating my item by at least 1000%. So I implemented the ability to cut out disclaimers based on a stripos call. I can have a list of different filters here and it will cut them all out.
After fixing this up and resolving the functional issues I logged this addon as a ticket in the GTD-PHP Trac system.
GTD-PHP Import from POP3 Mail

I have been attempting to get a fully working system set up for David Allens Getting Things Done. To this end I have set up an install of GTD-PHP.
Being the kind of person who likes to adapt, change, and implement better solutions, particularly for myself, I created a list of features I would like to see in my GTD-PHP installation. One of the first problems I had with the existing system was that it does not support importing Inbox items from a real mail Inbox.
I did some research and came across an existing mail importer, however this required directly piping mail from SMTP into the php script, which I could not do on my host (or would prefer not to do).
