1: Handling inbound emails
Posted by Peter Harper on 07/12/04 06:26 PM
Hi Folks,

I'm currently working on an idea for a seamless Outlook/OpenACS synching system, and need to be able to receive and process inbound emails for a mailbox on my server. I'm sure with a bit of work I could get something working, but it strikes me that this must have been done before.  If anyone could point at anything useful I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers,

Have you looked at Vlad Seryakov's nsimap module (in sourceforge CVS)? I'm assuming that an outlook server can speak to IMAP clients...

Or you might look at how acs-mail-lite (I think it is) reads from a Maildir.

I can furnish you with a POP3 package if you like. If I were you I'd try IMAP first though!
