Hi Gary, You can try to use examples like the ones in this thread to create users using cURL and PHP: http://groups.google.com/group/google-contacts-api/browse_thread/thread/f6dcf92775f8549/9dc962ddd20af598
You can read a user's email programmatically via: - IMAP - POP3 - Atom feed None of these can use SSO for authentication, so you would need to have each user's Google Apps password. IMAP and POP3 have the disadvantage in that the user must enable the protocol in Gmail settings before it can be used. Read more about the Atom feed: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13474 The feed URL for Google Apps domains is slightly different: https://mail.google.com/a/domain.com/feed/atom All three approaches have the limitation in that if too many authentications are coming from a single IP address, e.g. the case with a web application reading this data, then the IP address may be flagged for a CAPTCHA. Read about CAPTCHAs here: http://code.google.com/apis/apps/faq.html#authentication Cheers, Julian On Jan 8, 7:01 am, swoop80 <[email protected]> wrote: > Julian - thanks so much.
