Hi

I am developing a webmail module for a website that is currently under development. The host provides a mailserver with unlimited address. Im familiar with the imap functions to allow users to login to their mailboxes, read mail, send mail etc etc. However i cant see that imap the functionality to create *new* user/address on the mailserver. Therefore im guessing i need to connect to my mail server using sockets and add a new user this way. Unfortunantly I dont have that much espereince with sockets or that much knowledge of mailservers and their workings. I have searched some forums but cant seem to find anything that helps.

If anyone could give me a good starting point or a general direction where to go I would appriciate it :)

Thanks

i'm pretty sure you need local account on mail-server to create a mailbox.
