If the Amiga Stretch goal is reached, it will be ported to AROS, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS. We still have time to help. Copied and pasted from the Update 20 of the kickstarter page: [quote] Quick Announcement: In addition to the new character, I also wanted to point out to our retro-loving backers that [b]after consulting with Daniel / Daytona675x, we are adding AROS to the list of supported Amiga platforms[/b] :) (provided of course that we reach the stretch goal).[quote][/quote] note: bold style added by me.

:@ Darn April Fools Day!! :P

Just in case anyone forgot. Here's wishing all a happy April fools day :)

Confirmed. Thanks for reporting back :thumbsup: fwiw: Usually this kind of things don't take very long, so it is normally enough to give it a day or so.

Aros-Exec is up and running now :)

For those experiencing problems attempting to connect to aros-exec.org: you're not the only one.

@deadwood: i had a quick look at the sources, and was unable to find direct evidence for AROS specific ifdef's in order to not include imap support. Having that said, it could very well certain parts are not included (at all) for AROS. Speaking of those sources, is our MUI so different from MOS/OS4 that all those AROS specific ifdef's are required to f.i. call/link class methods ?

@deadwood it also works under AOS4. I had hope the same for AROS, as it have the option to select POP or IMAP in the settings. But MorphOS and AOS4 have newer versions, although IMAP support seems to be very basic yet. I'm searching por an alternative. I might have found something interesting ;)

Isn't IMAP supported only in MorphOS version of SimpleMAIL? I think I read about it in AmigaFuture

@magorium. yeah, it is old. I' ve tried 0.37 too. I hope the latest would be ported soon. Meanwhile, I'll try with the latest aos3 version under emulation to see if it works. Edit: Just read the Icaros manual and network is not supported under AROS68k nor AOS3, so no imap for now :|

Unfortunately, simplemail 0.36 is a little outdated. If you'll look [url=http://simplemail.sourceforge.net/]at the releases after 0.36[/url], you'll notice quit a lot of improvements/fixes regarding IMAP. At least that would explain the difficulties you might experience.

Hello, I'm trying to setup SimpleMail 0.36 to use my yahoo and gmail imap accounts, as I have them in other clients (like SimpleMail for MorphOS) but no luck. After some time I get the message: "Unexpected server answer. Connection failed." Has anybody tried it? I'm using Icaros 2.0.3

The votes are in. And I am not surprised this year, since the winner seems obvious. Still, as a puzzle fanatic, I was hoping Berusky would find a place. Hopefully we will have plenty of games again this year :) The results: [url]http://obligement.free.fr/hitparade/award2014.php[/url]

@amigamia ...but I was kinda looking for some sort of training or with some small examples to show what all those commands do together. Something for new users to AROS who may not have a strong Amiga background. Perhaps you will like this ADos guide better? [url]http://www.bunton.id.au/afiles.html[/url] ...I couldn't complete anything without errors, hiccups, and all sorts of sporadic problems. I wonder how much stack you are working with. It should be okay but sometimes can be a problem. Please give a step by step example of your problem using the bash shell. So I can try to repeat the error.

Please note that icaros 2.0.2 should never have been released into public, as there where some serious flaws in there. Flaws that could impact aros in such a way that it would be impossible to be able to figure out exactly what is/was the culprit. Please, if you can, try updating to 2.0.3 or revert back to 2.0.1 fwiw: sh is used by developers itself to compile all sorts of things for and port to aros, so if indeed there are serious issues, we would have heard them by now. Nevertheless, it could happen something is amiss (it happened in the 2.x beta testing fase that sh was completely broken). Please retry with icaros 2.0.1 or 2.0.3 and if you can report back if you are still experiencing issues. sh is too important for AROS (developers) that we can't afford for it it having any (serious) issues.

Something for new users to AROS who may not have a strong Amiga background or no background at all. Haven't looked at the manual so I may be missing the mark here but I'll definitely check them out when free time comes along. As for sh in Aros, I have tried it under Icaros 2.0.2 and it is very unstable. I couldn't complete anything without errors, hiccups, and all sorts of sporadic problems.

Amigamia, Clicking on the link gives me an error :(

I thought this [url]http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=68782[/url] was a fantastic idea. IS anyone willing to do the same thing but for AROS Shell?
