Hi,
Im wondering if perhaps spmebody has already developed an application or indeed a module(or even if somebody could tell me how to go about it) that would periodically access mails from a mail account and if there are new mails, then insert them to the database. What i want to do is to add a mail thread to my forum that shows a list of all the mails sent to say a project address and display them in a forum relating to that project. Can i use somesort of pop3 access protocol and what language would be the best to use? Any Ideas/Suggestions?? Thanks,

From what I understand in the topics that have been brought up before about this, you would need a custom component to do this, but beyond that I don't know what else would go into it. The language shouldn't matter as long as you have the programming knowledge...
I would suggest searching for mail topics (especially from HuwR) to see if you can find the answer you need.<

JMail supports POP3, and so does CDONTS and many other mail components. You'll have to write the code from scratch, though. <

Hi,
Ok So, now i have a Java Module Written which acces the mail on a POP3 Server and then writes it to a new mail table inthe Database of the forum. What i want to do now is to create a thread which displays these mails such as in the Forum. Where hsould I start or where is the appropriate code loacted in the Forum code that i can edit to do this?? Basically i want the mails in the database displayed as a thread??..... Just a little confused on the starting point!! Thanks,

Has any progress been made on this? I would like to do something similar, where a user can cc forum of choice and the thread would be put into a new topic.
Even if the code is not complete, please let me know if it is available, and I might complete it.
Thanks in advance,


Michael<
