[APP][3.0+]: FloatMail: Floatification extension for email

[Glen Cook]

Description:
Receive email from within any app, without pausing the app, including fullscreen apps.

This is an extension for the app Floatifications published by Rob J. The floatifications app *must* be installed prior to installing FloatMail:

The app supports:

• Display sender name and subject
• Display full email body
• Commands:
  • Open: Opens the email app inbox
  • Delete: Deletes the Floatification
  • Reply: Reply from within the email app
  • Quick Reply: Reply from within the Floatification
  • Delete All: Deletes all recent FloatMail Floatifications
  • Delete Message: Deletes the email message from the remote server
  • Mark as Read: Marks the message as read on the remote server

The app works with nearly all email accounts by supporting the following protocols: IMAP, IMAP-IDLE (Push Mail), POP3 & Exchange via EWS or IMAP.

Note: There is no dependencies on K9, Gmail APIs or anything else so your free to use any email app that you want in conjunction with FloatMail.

Using this extension means you can do away with the status bar if you wish, disable your normal email notifications, and still be notified within FN for Email.

This sounds like an excellent idea. Can you make it compatible with HALO?

FloatMail piggy backs on Floatifications, from the Floatification description:
"Halo
This is NOT Halo. There are no popups of full apps and nor will there ever be. If that is what you are after unfortunately you will not find it here.
HOWEVER, if you are running a custom ROM which supports Halo then you there is a setting to open any notifications from FN in a Halo window."

I should stress that FloatMail is an applet designed for very quick interactions...For example instantly replying to an email then returning to what you're doing with minimal interruption. I'm not sure that floating a full screen app like GMail would achieve the same experience.
