An in-depth look at Mozilla Mail
  Mozilla Mail and C++ [ << Previous | Next >> ]

Mozilla Mail and C++

  • Used for core objects and services
  • Examples: Accounts, Folders, Messages, Mail Event System, Database, Stream Conversion, Networking
  • Almost all objects also accessable via JS
  • Why not JavaScript?
    • Performance: "high volume" data
    • Persistent data/services "easier" (IMHO)
    • Not everything accessable from JavaScript yet
    • Legacy code
