Mail client or possibly a simpler program
How difficult would it be to create a mail client, similar to Squirrel Mail (probably not as complex)? I would really like to work on making my own, but I don't have much php experience. Are there any other simpler programs/scripts you can recommend for someone trying to learn php? If possible, could you give the number of hours you expect each task to take? Thanks.

Re: Mail client or possibly a simpler program
Honestly that sound like a difficult task, but you have to learn somewhere. I might recommend using a PHP framework (ZF, CI, Cake) and a javascript library(Prototype, jQuery, mootools). You will be using good practices and can get past the application structure part and on to the actual functionality.

Thanks for the suggestions. Is there some other program that would be easier and more suited for beginners to write?
