Hello All, I've got this project which needs 700,000 users (students) to use a certain e-learning site. They need to logon in order to get their personal agendas, projects etc. They also need mail.
The webmail interface would only form a small part of a much bigger application. Nonetheless, it does have the most vital role as authentication method and communications center. Think of the webmail part as the .net passport from Microsoft. With the Webmail account you can login to the site (in the future multiple sites). In my opinion, there are two ways to do this: 1)the webmail interface IS the website itself. So, it would involve fletching the entire site in the webmail interface. 2)the site checks whether you're logged into webmail and gives you access accordingly. This could work with the webmail cookie, although it would mean the webmail session may not expire, or at least the access to webmail may not expire, until user logs out by himself. Len Conrad said: "if you have a more that mail to do with the web interface, then you have to write that app, and then in that app, have a link to the webmail function. There are ways to pass the authenticated user from one app to the webmail app. People on the imail list can explain how to do it." Any thoughts, suggestions, clues, hints or even solutions *crosses fingers* is greatly appreciated!
