Help reqd on folder management
Posted: Thu May 12, 2005 2:09 am
Hello !
We are doing a Project named Web Based Email Client. We have to give functionality of sending and receiving emails with attachment which we have already done. Now we have to manage mail folders i.e. Inbox, Sent, Bulk, Trash and custom folders created by the client. Now we are using the sendmail mail server which manages the mails in a mailbox in the form of a simple file and all the mails are retrieved from that file in the inbox. Now we are unable to understand how to manage different folders as there is only one file and we cannot create folders in that file. We have to send different mails to different folders depending on the filters. So plz help us in this problem. Also we have to do spam control and custom filters we want to know if the mail server itself manages the spam and filters or we have to use some database for it say for addressbook also.
We are using the linux platform for implementation and we have a live IP on a running linux server with Apache Web Server, Sendmail mail server, PHP as language used for coding and MySql as database.
