How can I best implement a Web - based Email system ....

[Rishi]

I want to use Active Server pages on an NT server. So what all do I need to
implement a full-fledged web-based email system,where new users can create
accounts,directories,etc. Do I need Exchange Server? If yes, does it have
controls,objects,etc which can be accessed by asp pages ?

Hi Rishi,
To implement an web based interface for an email system, you do need an email
server which also could be exchange server.
If you are sure of using exchange server then yes it does comes with an object
model which could be used in asp pages.

A small system I built on Win2k for web-based email was written around MS
SMTP Server, CDO for Windows 2000, and ADO 2.5. Take a look at CDO for Windows
2000 especially, as it has an incredibly powerful object model for working
with email messages.

Check out iMail Server from IPSwitch:
http://www.ipswitch.com/Products/IMa...ver/index.html

Also, an iMail add-on, Easy Signup, from Humankind Systems:
http://www.humankindsystems.com/Prod...8.55331944#102

And finally, Killer Web Mail, also from Humankind Systems:
http://www.killerwebmail.com/

It will work wonderfully for what you have in mind. I strongly suggest
signing up for the iMail email list, many people on this list have created
the exact system you are trying to create.

I use iMail server and SQL 7 to do it. To add a user, you simply add them to
the Users table in the iMail database. Works great.
