email client confusion
Posted: Thu May 13, 2004 8:40 am
hi everyone,
i want to make a email system in php (like hivemail),
but i dont know where to start,
also i have a couple of doubts.
first - i am able to retreive mails using pop and imap, but for security reasons, i have heard that it shud be on ssl, no how can i use ssl and what it the exact technique for it.
also what happens in the background when some mail comes, or the user deletes it, --- background means in the database. What is the database structure used generally and what is methodology for managing the mails in the background.
i am also very confused for the start, i dont know where to start the system.
any help is highly appreciable.
Thank you
