Do not have to follow SMTP. Program needs to compose and send mail from client to server. Server stores messages for user. Client checks server for new mail, downloads mail, displays mail.
Calorie Counter
New program idea. A Calorie Counter. Came up with recently to keep the brain 'program active' (made that term up).
What I think it should do:
- List of items and their total calories. Like stuff I eat every day. Say breakfast, 2 scrambled eggs w/added mushrooms/tomato - buttered toast - glass of orange juice, with it's calorie total.
- List items individually and as preset groups. Like breakfast above or a standard peanut & jelly sandwich 2 slices of bread. Groups can be created/edited by user.
- Choose from list, adds to daily & weekly count.
- Maybe a calorie burned center. Set daily activity rate based on height/weight formula, plus calories burned during added activity that day. i.e. went for run/distance of.
- Can change weight variable as needed (hopefully decrease).
- Multiple users. Able to change according to who is using program. Access your own stats, food list, weight loss goals.
- Weekly/monthly totals. +/- ratio.
- Graph? Intake/burned lines.
