Hacking and Exploring
Mailpile's python code lives in mailpile/.
Mailpile's default HTML templates and Javascript lives in static/default/.
Miscellaneous documentation is in doc/.
Test data lives in testing/.
There are a bunch of variables that can be tweaked. For a complete list:
mailpile> help/variables
...
To set a variable to some value either run Mailpile with:
$ ./mp --set section.variable=value
Or alternatively run ./mp and issue:
mailpile> set section.variable=value
after which you need to restart the program for it to take effect
(Ctrl+D and ./mp). You can print the value of a variable using:
mailpile> print variable
We are slowly migrating the code to use the doctest module for
internal unit tests.
Black-box regression tests can be invoked by running
scripts/mailpile-test.py. For experimenting and testing, the blackbox
test script can be run in an interactive mode:
$ ./scripts/mailpile-test.py -i
JSON and XML versions exist for most web-based commands and requests and most Mailpile functionality is (or will be) accessible over an HTTP REST-style API.
Please see doc/URLS.md for details.
