Pardon my ignorance, but if you write your own web interface to mail using
Cold Fusion (or ASP for that matter),
how does it integrate with IMail?
Or, to ask differently, what benefit are you getting versus anyone using any
email system that writes their own web interface and simply uses SMTP/POP3
intrinsics (COM objects, cold fusion mail special tags, or
commandline/custom written interfaces) to manipulate the mail?
Isn't this fully re-inventing the wheel, so-to-speak?
My reason for using IMail web interface is the user configuration options
for aliases, passwords, etc. These are IMail-specific and would not be
available using a plain-vanilla POP3/SMTP objects wrapped up with a
scripting language such as ASP or Cold Fusion?
