Hi Chuck,

What do most people use for incoming SMTP and outgoing sends on the
Mac platform (more specifically, when developing with WebObjects)?
The standard package is JavaMail from Sun:

Be warned that the API is large and ugly, possibly one of Sun's worst
(and that is saying a LOT).
Not really:) Some time ago, I created a read-only mail store for .mbox
files in a few hours - granted I'm not exactly a beginner - but it
*was* pretty easy, sort of filling-out-the-blanks like. And there are
tons of support libs of the web which already access DB backed stores
and the like. It's more an exercise to your Google skills to find and
use them.
My uneducated advice would be install an IMAP server to handle the
creation and storage and use WO for the interface to this server. This
should be the least work and be sufficient for a small user base (a few
dozen to a few hundred or so casual users). And WO would be just
excellent for providing such an interface because it4s just so plain
easy to do.
Another thing would be to take a hard look at ZOK
(http://guests.evectors.it/zoe/), which is not strictly a "normal" WO
app, but as the source is included should provide a few hints on how to
use mail storages.
Count on a couple of days to go through the docs and examples.
However, it does most everything. There are some enhancements for
sending mail in Project Wonder.
We have two packages: there is ERJavaMail, which replaces WOSendMail
(or whatever it is called) and the ERMailer facility, where you put
mails into EOs that subsequently get sent via an instance of
ERMailer.app, complete with error handling and stuff.
Cheers, Anjo
