Okay, i'm feeling brave today so here goes. This problem
spawned from not being able to get vmware or wine working:
Problem:
1) I need to read email in linux and windows and mac and....
2) Employees want to read their new mail at home but would
like it to remain on the server so they can still read it at
work.
Solution:
Web front-end to pop server. I looked at just using pine. But
everyone here is so outlook-ized i want to puke and management
says "Use outlook." I thought about changing to a IMAP. But,
we don't have the space on the server and management says
"We're strapped for cash." Looked into using atdot and horde
IMP on the server. Atdot is WAY too difficult to deal with (plus
i don't know the slightest thing about perl) and IMP is a IMAP
only front-end. I found CWMail from NetWin useful but since
my department can't even order a 18 Gig drive without getting
reammed i don't think they'll go for the $500 product. So, my
solution: write something in java. Why?
- It's the only language i know enough about that i can write
something like this.
- It'll run on any platform as a client.
- Don't need to worry about security leaks cause it is a java
client
app.
The reason for this email (as you're probably wondering) anyone
want to save me and tell me about this awesome program that will
run on my redhat pop mail server thus saving me hours upon hours
of programming time that i'm not going to get paid for. Or is
anyone
else a java programmer that wants to help out? I've got a
sem-decent
smtp client program now, just need to work on the pop part of it.
anyway, figured i'd throw it out there and see if anyone had any
suggestions. thanks
jeff
