Hi kev,
one suggestion, (I'm not into php myself very much) but a collegue here
develops with php and said that there might be a good chance to get a
php-module for it, so you could try to do a webbased PHP-Mailbox.... php
works very well with mysql (built in, you just have to enable mysql in the
php.ini). I'm using it to read the logfiles of my gameserver to create stats
:-) it's also prewritten by someone else...... there are tons of modules for
php, I guess there's already the right one out there somewhere which might
fit your needs.
Just a thought,
Simmel
