A problem: the app must collect user mail credentials to connect to the mail service for each user session. Actually, no one wants to share such information. A simple approach is to have a message table and ajax code to fetch new messages. Also consider triggering message updates with the LOAD helper timing options.
Also, combined with the first method, you could have web2py use a mail server in the same machine without the need for authentication, connecting to different accounts for each user session. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
