Email function

Post by S_henry »

Currently i've used MS Outlook as my email system. Is it possible for me to add email function (something like outlook) in my system using php? I mean to create inbox page that can get and display email from server and other mail function. Is it possible?

Sure it's possible. Check out SquirrelMail for an example of a PHP based email client. Using the imap_ functions, or opening a socket and doing everything yourself, you have complete control.

By the way, it's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally complicated.
