I tried many PHP webmail clients, found the speed is always not satisfied. I plan to write my own script as Xmail frontend via direct mail folder access, not via POP3 protocol, neither IMAP. I'm curious why nobody do that before? I hope this way can dramatically increase the speed. First of all, I must know the detail directory structure and file types Xmail used for win32 version. Currently, I only know

MailRoot\domains\<domain>\<user>\mailbox

is that user's inbox.

Questions:
1) Where should I make new directories as "trash","Sent", "drafts" etc. per user?
2) Is there a special place(directory) which is polled by xmail and if I put a mail file there, it will be sent out automatically?
3) Is it possible to set spam filter per user?

Thanks!

Same as on Linux. See manual.

1. Best place should be in /domains/username/some_directory
2.

XMAIL LOCAL MAILER

    XMail has the ability to deliver locally prepared mail files that if
    finds in the 'spool/local' directory. The format of these files is
    strict:

    mail from:<...>[CR][LF]
    rcpt to:<...>[CR][LF]
    ...
    [CR][LF]
    message text with [CR][LF] line termination

    All lines must be [CR][LF] terminated, with one mail-from statement, one
    or more rcpt-to statements, an empty line and the message text. Mail
    files must not be created directly inside the '/spool/local' directory
    but instead inside '/spool/temp' directory. When the file is prepared it
    has to be moved into '/spool/local'. The file name format is:

    stime-seqnr.pid.hostname

    where:

    stime
        system time in sec from 01/01/1970.

    seqnr
        sequence number for the current file.

    pid process or thread id.

    hostname
        creator process host name.

    Example:

    97456928-001.7892.home.bogus

    XMail has a number of LMAIL threads that periodically scan the
    '/spool/local' directory watching for locally generated mail files. You
    can tune this number of threads with the '-Ln nthreads' command line
    option. The suggested number ranges from three to seven.



3. Only per custom script hooked into filter.in.tab (see manual)

Just before I start, and trying Mercury/32 mail server, I found IlohaMail webmail client --- it's really amazingly fast with its own IMAP library (not PHP built-in one)!
Everybody want a fast PHP webmail should take a look at IlohaMail I suggest!

http://ilohamail.org

I think it's not necessary to write such a program any more if we have IlohaMail ...
