JavaMail ( http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/ )is the standard for creating mail applications in any java environment. You can indeed use it to implement a webmail interface in WebObjects, but be prepared to shed a lot of tears and keep a lot of coffee handy.

The standard webmailer in Mac OS X is SquirrelMail ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/squirrelmail/ ), which is nice, fast, and customizable. You might be able to achieve desired results in a much shorter time by customizing your SquirrelMail installation than writing a completely new WM in WebObjects.

Cheers,
Hugi

PS: If you *really* want to create a webmailer in WebObjects, Project Wonder ( http://wonder.sourceforge.net/ ) provides a very nice WO wrapper for JavaMail's mail sending capabilities in the ERJavaMail framework.

Hi,

I’m new to WebObjects and have been playing around with the tutorials from Apple,
and the WebObjects Visual Quickpro Guide......Inspired by it all, I would like to
setup a webmail interface somewhat like the one over at .mac to replace the standard
webmail interface supplied with MacOS X Server.


How difficult or easy is this and are there any open source projects/frameworks I could
use to implement it.


 Thanks in advance!
