yes, it was a long time ago though. I used powerplant (old style macos class library from Metrowerks). The best thing was it had classes to deal with POP/SMTP.

yes, it was a long time ago though. I used powerplant (old style macos class library from Metrowerks). The best thing was it had classes to deal with POP/SMTP. What I learned: * don't write POP/SMTP/IMAP - it's been done * don't write for the home user, it's been done (IMHO) * the corporate world loves Exchange and Lotus Notes but they are not ideal solutions so you could look there. You will find it hard to get corporate customers to move from exchange/notes for company email though. * maybe look at customer support systems where emails are handled by many, many people. A lot of them have clever pre processing and flow control heuristics in them. You may have a new angle to help those guys. The app I wrote was for fun because surely it can't be that hard. Well it was and I was a fool. good luck.
