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.

Yes, much coffee. It is a rather low level API that really needs a higher level wrapper before you start to use it for anything.


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,

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.

What would be interesting would be to make an IMAP EOF adaptor. Hmmmm.... but that is not a trivial task.

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!
