Or, I guess, you could implement the whole thing as a ZEO client, and avoid interfering with the threads of your webserving Zope. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

Could anyone point me in the right direction? micheal already pointed out his imap code. i'd like to give warning that handling imap properly with different clients can be a pain. the protocol is a bit complex and there are some gray areas, which different clients handle differently. pop is much, much simpler if you want to go that route (with the option of just leaving mail on the server, you might be able to treat it superficially like imap). barry warsaw has an async implementation of a smtp server that he uses to test out mailman, its on his homesite at http://www.wooz.org/users/barry/software/Code/smtpd.py HTH, kapil ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
