Hey guys, I recently opened up a thread about creating my own mail service (click here) - however I have had another idea. I would like to know if it is easy to achieve the following.
My users can submit POP3 account details from an existing email address and mail provider which allows them to access thyeir inbox and send emails through my website. Does that make sense?
This is possible with PHP using their IMAP functions.
People may be reluctant to type their credentials into your website, however, as you would be able to steal them.
Right, thank you for that info I'll check it out. I think the privacy issue should be ok, the site is a small community site for my home town so I think that would probably bring some extra 'trust' into it.
