[IMail Forum] new message notification

[John Calhoun]

Has anyone out there ever seen a script of some sort that will display the number of messages in a mailbox on a webpage?  For example, once upon a time I used earthlink as my dialup provider and on the "personal start page" was displayed how many messages you had in your inbox.  Now I run an ISP and would like to add this feature to our "personal start page".  I know this has to be done in combination with cookies so the page knows what users inbox to display etc, but I haven't been able to figure out how to extract the number of messages in a given mailbox from imail.  We are using imail 5.05   Thanks in advance.   -John C.
