I built one in 1.5 back when I was on the FlexBuilder team (which may be what you saw Brendan) and I used the Flex server to communicate with a POJO system that I wrote. I used the Java mail package to access an IMAP server to handle access to the mail account and also used this to access SMTP to send emails.
Its possible to do this without the server by using PHP and PEAR to handle email management. There is a package in PEAR that allows you to access a SMTP client and then if you have the right information you can send emails out. I have used this package for an eCommerce site to handle email automation and its pretty easy to set up and use. All you would need to do is either create a POST system or use AMF (WebOrb, etc) to access the class and then send the email out. With IMAP it gets a little more tricky figuring out what folders exists, what has been read, etc. I had most of that working in my example using a tree for the folder structure and custom renders to change what had unread mail and the count. I would offer the code up, but I don't have it any more... sorry. :( J. --- In [email protected], "Douglas Knudsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossmail/ > > DK > > On 9/22/06, Brendan Meutzner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I think I remember seeing an example of this done in 1.5... damned if I > > remember where though...
