[PHP] Re: web mail clients? From: Mike Eheler (meheler <email protected>)

Depends what you want to do with it.

If you want it to grab messages from a POP server, and download them to
your local machine, then some sort of cyclic folders database structure
would help:

int auto_inc folderid
int default(0) parentid (= 0 if root, otherwise id of parent folder)
str foldername

Then your mail database:

int auto_inc mailid
int default(0) folderid
subject
... etc ...

I would suggest setting up an IMAP server somewhere.. in which case all
you really need to do is grab Horde/IMP from http://www.horde.org/imp
and use that. The latest version is quite good.
