I think, I am not patient to await the IMAP4 service which is on the way. To develop my own Web side mail, I found IMAP4 better. Do you have some suggestion about this?

Inhyun,
I'm currently also developing an WebMail system wich uses XMail as the backend. What I did was creating an virtual IMAP4 implementention on top of POP3. The following methods were used: - Cache mail on arrive (not the complete mail but the header fields) in a database. - Within the database create virtual folders and assign the mail items to the virtual folders. - Create a web interface to show the mailbox contents as available in the database. - Only go to the mailserver on actual access to the mail item (for example: read mail) This approach has an significant advantage in speed and scaleabilty of your application. If you have other thoughts, let me know. - Aram Tutunciyan - |
