Do you have plans to allow messages to be stored in SQL database tables instead of text files? This would simplify cases where I have to move an e-mail domain from one server/ip to another. It would also simplify mail backup, restore and management.
Thanks for the consideration,
Steven

Looks good so far. The attraction of your implementation is your IMAP support and my first action was to get Outlook to access the Server as an E-mail client. However the process fails. The error log says that the service failed while looking for "...\MailStore\MailBoxes\Bill\...". In fact the folder created is ...\MailStoreMailBoxes\Bill\...". That is, it looks like there is a folder separator missing when the folder is created on the server. If I correct the mailbox folder everything is OK. Howerer if I then add another folder, the same problem occurs and a folder called MailStoreMailBoxes is created.

Hi,
What is Mail store root in GUI manager ?
Will it end with / ? (eg. c:\mailstore\ or is it c:\mailstore)
I'm almost sure that you don't have / at end, add it and let me know result.
I'll fix this by adding automatically / in GUI is isn't at end.

Thanks, that was the solution. I chose not to use the default folder offered and had not ended the path with a "\".
Changing topic, I'm looking for a mail server I can use at home. I'm keen that my kids are able to send and receive e-mail but I'd like to see what they are sending and, more importantly, who they are receiving mail from. Our firewall restricts access to web-based e-mail services like Hotmail and while it sounds a bit like "Big Brother", I think it's better to be safe than sorry. When they are old enough they'll find a way to send e-mail privately anyway.
So I'm keen to learn whether the filtering mechanism in the mail server could be used to implement the functionality I want. For example, can I intercept mail inbound to, or outbound from, a specific address and have a copy of it sent to another person (me or my wife)?
Finally, have you given any consideration to the support of non-mail folders under IMAP to support Outlook folder types such as Calendars, Tasks, etc. or to act as a public folder store? Are you aware of any documentation covering the functions the server needs to support to be able to store Outlook information. Of course I could setup Exchange but it is so difficult to install and maintain!

Yes, you can make copy there and store to hdd or send to anoher address.
>Calendars, Tasks
>server needs to support to be able to store Outlook information
They aren't IMAP related, if I'm not wrong outlook <-> excahnge use LDAP.
If you know something more and exacter, let me konw.
>public folder store
I have thought about it. I think later versions will support it.
Main problems are user rights to folders (can accsess,can delete, ...)
Must see how other mailserver have done it.
you may write directly to me ivar@lumisoft.ee .

While MS Exchange does use LDAP for directory lookups, the way I understand Exchange stores calendar items, tasks, etc is not IMAP but MAPI.
I don't know of any RFC like documentation on supporting a MAPI server, but client-side documentation can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/exchanchor/htms/msexchsvr_mapi.asp[^]. There are also a vast number of knowledge base articles which describes some of the quirks like the fact that since MAPI pre-dates HTML mail, MS Outlook will encode the HTML mail in a special RTF format first...
I know that it can be done because HP use to have a product called OpenMail which was touted as an Exchange replacement. Rockliffe's MailSite, a commerical product, also claims to be an Exchange replacement.
Hope this helps.

I want to starting learning to write server/client applications in C#. Do you have suggestions of any good books that I can read to get the entire understanding of the logic and process behind creating servers. I would like to write an SMTP/POP3 Server as my first application. Hence how I found this article.
So any book suggestions would be great.

|

Hi,
Books ??? Haven't found any.
I can only suggest: see more examples, see .NET sdk help, try to start doing your project.

Check out KBCafe, http://www.KBCafe.com/articles, they have some good, straight-forward, and mostly free code and explanations for NNTP, POP3, SMTP and other networking related subjects for .Net(C#) and C++.

This is a great package. I have 2 questions if someone can help me.
1) How do I setup STMP AUTH, I've been looking around for it but cant find how to activate it.
2) What does the "Pop3 Remote Accounts" Tab do under the usernames?
Thanks for the help

Hi,
>1) How do I setup STMP AUTH,how to activate it.
It's always activated, user names are same as pop3.
>2) What does the "Pop3 Remote Accounts"
You can attach external pop3 server accounts there. Eg. your hotmail account.
