You can reuse some code from this appliance:

contact form (store in dbb then sends an email)

[web2py] Do I have to re-invent the wheel to display and manage messages between users on a website?

[pbreit]

I haven't seen anyhin like that ready to go. I'm building an 
eBay/craigslist-like app so would be mildly interesting. By the way, I have 
recently switched from amazon ses to sendgrid for emailing (pricetack.com).

I guess you should make a model called messages, which you must relate it
within users.
Depends how you want to it working.

[web2py] Do I have to re-invent the wheel to display and manage messages between users on a website?

[Luis Goncalves]

Hello!

I'm building an application where logged-in users can send messages to
each other (the message gets sent to the recipient's normal email, and
they use a link to come back to the site and reply).

I want a page (ie, controller, view, (and model)) that allows the user
to see the messages sent and received, and manage them (delete, reply,
etc).  Basically this part of the website is like an email system,
except that you don't ever know the other person's email, and can only
contact them through the site.

I was hoping that something like that already exists (a web2py
messaging "slice", perhaps?).  I'm sure I can implement it, but it
would be clever to use something that already exists (and is likely to
be a more thorough and featured implementation) rather than hacking it
up from scratch.

I have been searching, but haven't found anything.

Does anyone know of anything available that I can use?

Thanks!!!

Luis.
