Thanks for your replies.

I have recently been thinking more about implementing a WebMail client which can access different imap servers and not necessarily setting up my own imap server. I currently have 8 weeks til when my thesis is due (in conjunction with 3 other subjects) and I thought that with that time restriction, it would be best to do a WebMail client. This wouldnt of course be able to have administrator access for the imap servers but i thought it would still be a good project. That is, it could be used in conjunction with already set up imap servers with users already created and the WebMail provides a web interface for users to retrieve/send their mail. (Forgive me if im not making much sense)

Is this a good project to work on and will it be useful to the community?

Depending on time, I am planning to hopefully add features such as spell checking, possibly including SMS alerts (in conjunction with another group member's thesis) and some other features. Please provide some feedback. Thanks.

PS: the database to be used is Postgres.
