Although the quote of Jamie Zawinski suggest 'bloated' software i'm not sure if that is the right direction. Would it not be much nicer if you just can integrate with a existing mail-service. Both as a client or as a workflow extension (like in Enterprise Content Management) A few services like; show list of mails in a box, show details of mail, store a specific mail as a XWiki document with metadata about mail
Many mail servers already offer RSS feeds of mail boxes, many offer a webpage interface. A XWiki iFrame might be a very lightweight integration already. If you could add a few parameters to the iframe you could supply some identity and access data to dynamically log-in the service Gerritjan Op 2 mrt 2011, om 14:02 heeft Kevin P.
