You should have a look at iMS from Coolfusion.com

Subject: web based email client : reinventing the wheel



 I was wondering if anybody has put a lot of time into creating a web based
 messaging client that interacts with a single pop server.  I know I could
 design one myself, but I would think everybody has already done this, and
 somebody has probably put a lot of time into making a benchmark performer
in
 regards to web messaging.  If anyone could point me to or provide me with
 source code, it would be much appreciated.

RE: web based email client : reinventing the wheel

2000-05-23 Thread Adam Cantrell


I have seen the infusion mail server - it's an awesome product, and I get
reamed for not using it.  However, I'm looking for a web based client/front
end - not a server.  The front end that goes along with iMS seems to want to
stay with iMS.  I'm looking for a client that has been performance tuned and
proven stable under higher load conditions, and that interacts completely
through POP (like with a freeBSD box running sendmail).  It would be cool if
it had address book features, although I am looking for core functionality
right now (send, receive, forward, attach).  Has anyone ran across something
like this, or done one theirselve?  And if you don't have the source, I
would appreciate any pointers or tricks you used to make it faster/better.

Does it have to be in cold fusion?  For a front end pop client, we're using 
Merak Mail's IceMail (5 stars from ServerWatch, 
http://www.serverwatch.com/) you can use it with merak mail or without, and 
it's easily configurable from within forms of CF via CFExecute calls

check it out at http://www.icewarp.com/webmail/

RE: web based email client : reinventing the wheel

2000-05-23 Thread Owens, Howard



My copy of CFStudio came with an example app called Crazy Cab.  I've used
that as the base for building a couple of standard POP clients.  It has all
of the basic functionality you're looking for and is easy to modify to suit
just about any standard need.

Re: web based email client : reinventing the wheel

2000-05-23 Thread Justin MacCarthy

There are two problems with CF + pop

1) the connection overhead
2) and cfmail

You can get around cfmail , using cfx_mail or others but you still have
connection overhead. The version of crazy cabs email client that comewith
ColdFusion, caches all the email titles into a sessions, to speed the later
pages, but the page which connects is painfully slow.

The rest of the job is easy.

Are you going to be running this on Linux or NT ?

RE: web based email client : reinventing the wheel

2000-05-23 Thread Adam Cantrell


That is what I was looking for, something like crazy cabs to do cool things
like storing the headers in a variable or any other cool performance gaining
methods that I don't have time to think of.  I know the overhead is going to
be lame, but I have too many other objects and people that are using the
email server in its current state.  They would be pissed if I told them I
was going to all of a sudden store all of their email in a SQL db.

I am going to be running CF 4.51ent on either NT 4 SP4-6 or win2k advanced.

Thanks again for all of the tips everybody.

RE: web based email client : reinventing the wheel

2000-05-23 Thread Steve Pierce

Expensive but a solution that is used with millions of mailboxes worldwide
and included mail boxes, POP3 and IMAP4 support, address books, folders and
more is Webmail from www.infinite.com. Their system is used at hundreds of
schools and Universities including several accounts with 20,000 mail boxes
and up.

It isn't cheap but it does work great and is very stable.
