Re: web mail clients?

Depends what you want to do with it. If you want it to grab messages from a POP server, and download them to your local machine, then some sort of cyclic folders database structure would help: int auto_inc folderid int default(0) parentid (= 0 if root, otherwise id of parent folder) str foldername Then your mail database: int auto_inc mailid int default(0) folderid subject ... etc ... I would suggest setting up an IMAP server somewhere.. in which case all you really need to do is grab Horde/IMP from http://www.horde.org/imp and use that. The latest version is quite good.

Hi, I'm looking into setting up a web based mail client for personal use. I've got most of it figured out (sending, recieving, forwarding etc..). I need to be able to use folders in the mail client to organise the messages. Whats the best way of moving messages around? Do i need to store them as files / in a database or is there an easier way to do it?
