Been looking around the net these last couple of days, and I think I've finally found what I want..
I though I might share this with you, just incase you are looking for a similar solution.

The only reason I chose this application is becasue it uses MySQL databases (for easier intergration with the rest of the site), AJAX (well, that's just a plus), but best of all, there's no need to use PHP's inbuilt IMAP module, which I can never get to work or become enabled on both my machine and on other servers.. :cry:

QUOTERoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation and message filters. RoundCube Webmail is written in PHP and requires the MySQL database. The user interface is fully skinnable using XHTML and CSS 2.

It even uses AJAX, so no reloading every page (most Google products like GMail and Google Maps use it)..! /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />

Here's a screenie from my setup on my local Apache test server:



The project is called RoundCube, located here, and a demo link here.
PM me if you want to participate in the aquabeta webmail beta (not that I care if you don't, just if your interested).

Hmm...

What exactly, or how exactly is this beneficial to others..? I mean, it looks cool, but are you saying that maybe you would use it to intergrate with the forum, or..?

I guess it can be beneficial in 2 ways:

1) If users are going on holiday or something, they can easily access their home email accounts remotely
2) Well, over at aquabeta, I'm going to intergrate it with forums, and other web software, so, it SHOULD be possible to intergrate - that doesn't mean you can steal the idea, Ty.. :wink:
