Bruce,
We are using the standard IMail Templates with the options disabled at the
bottom of the main mailbox screen. We are also using the standard IMail
port(8383).
Unfortunately I don't know of a way to get IMail to work on Port 80 along
side a web server running port 80. It would be great it we could run the
Web Interface on IIS, but not yet :-(

Here is a question, With the motocross mail
system, are you reading in the pages so that you dont have to re-direct a
user to a oddball port? This is a major problem for people who are behind
firewalls and proxys. Also i have noticed that you have disabled a ton of
the options for the system. Is this due to you reading the pages and making
them post the info to another?
Im curious if there is a way to get the
imail system to work on the same box as a web server? Cause it seems to eat
the port on all ips that a box contains, Which means that you cannot run the
email on port 80 if your main page is there.

The new user signup is pretty trivial if you
have worked with ASP before(if not I suggest you visit
www.activeserverpages.com <http://www.activeserverpages.com>).
We use an external MS Access database to
store all of our user info. When a user hits our sign up page....we
naturally ask them a few questions to get the data we need to make the user
account. Once we have this info......we have the form submit to an ASP
script which adds a record to the IMail database with the pertinent info.
We have a username and password box on our
home page to make the login process one step shorter. We also use a VERY
simple ASP script to process this as well. Below is a flowchart(of sorts)
as to how we use a form besides the IMail form.
1. User fills out the username and password
box we provide
2. We check our database to make sure he/she
exists and verify their Password
3. Show any error messages if they occur
4. If it's a valid user we redirect to an
ASP version of the IMail login form that uses hidden form inputs and the
data values they provided in step 1, and we use a Javascript to submit the
form(using an OnLoad event)
5. User arrives at their inbox.
Sounds pretty simple right? ;-)
As far as making IMail work in a
frame....just make a frameset and load in the IMail login form(
www.yourserver.com:8383 <http://www.yourserver.com:8383>). Once it's in a
frame.....it'll stay in there unless you specify a different target. We
also add in a few javascripts on a few pages to ensure that they can not be
loaded outside of the frameset.
Any more questions....just drop me a note
;-)
Scott
