Re: [Zope] Web mail with POP3

I need to build a web mail product with pop3 back-end. There is WorldPilot, but AFAIK it has no pop3 support. I'm thinking about taking web inteface/application design from WorldPilot and writing code to talk to pop3 server (probably based on POPMail product).
What do you mean, 'pop3 support'? If you want people to access their mailboxes both through the web and from a pop3 mail client, then all you need to do is use a mail server like UW-imap which speaks both pop3 and imap. Then you can just stick with WorldPilot, for now at least. That's what I do, anyway. seb. ----- End forwarded message -----

I have no imap server (yet), so I was looking for web mail product, that can talk to pop3 server. But setting up imap server should be easier then hacking WorldPilot. Anyway, I need to change the way WorldPilot does the authentication. Looking at sources, it seems rather easy. ololo@zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl /--------------------------------------\ | `long long long' is too long for GCC | \--------------------------------------/

I can vouch for that - I setup the Cyrus IMAP daemon and it's really easy. Quick question: has anyone got, say, 20.000 mail accounts running with WorldPilot? It seems from the interface that it's really meant for small workgroups, not for a "poor man's Hotmail"... (but I'm really impressed with it nevertheless). -- Cees de Groot http://www.cdegroot.com <cg@cdegroot.com> GnuPG 1024D/E0989E8B 0016 F679 F38D 5946 4ECD 1986 F303 937F E098 9E8B
