I'm thinking about providing an ability to search all emails for a user (from his/her pop3 server) while performing a search for some texts from the current app/ current database.
Yes, understand the cfpop tag would allow one to connect to a pop3 server and retrieve emails dynamically. But say, an average user's inbox would have ~800 emails. I'm not sure how efficient this approach of pulling out ~800 or more emails and then run a query against it. Am thinking loud here, how about Event Gateway (have never used it though)? Wouldn't it be a more direct hence more efficient approach? app -> "connector" --> event gateway setup and process (search against the entire inbox for the user for a keyword/phrase) --> pass results back to app ? is it something like that? Thanks for your time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
