@broadiainduby and @acerhoorurb, at the top right corner of every page is a link that says “Subscribe to our feeds..”, which is a link to http://blog.yetisoftware.com/feed/. Clicking that should take you to a feedburner page that lets you add the feed to your RSS reader of choice.

@Luke,

Thanks!

You may also be interested in the Fetcher library that I helped write.

I just moved the code to GitHub tonight. http://github.com/look/fetcher/tree/master

It downloads email via POP3 or IMAP and lets you process it. It can run as a daemon or via cron. I mostly use it for http://events.fanchatter.com

Cheers!

[...] Receiving emails in Rails using Gmail & IMAP, while staying efficient and RESTful For a recent project I had a need to receive emails (actually MMSs, but that’ll be the subject of a future post) in a Rails application.

This looks really nice. I was thinking of using this plugin:

But perhaps this solution is lightweight enough. It’s nice that you don’t need to have another process running all the time to worry about, I guess.
