There is an API for that but the API needs to be supported by Runrev in order for us to use it. Another method for accessing iDisk is to use webdav and if I recall correctly, putting a file on webdav server is a "simple" http PUT. Everything webdav does sits on top of standard HTTP, but you need to be able to examine the http headers, so if libURL was supported you could at least implement your own solution. BUT libURL isn't supported yet, so at the moment I think you are out of luck. AFAIK libURL will be supported in the (near?) future.

ok, thank you hliljegren !

Do you know if there is an API to send / receive email in the background?
And if so, do you think runrev will soon implement in the IOS version?

Thank you

Sending email in the background is (AFAIK) not allowed according to Apple's developer license. But Runrev already has a tutorial on how to send email using the "built-in" mail application.
