web based email service

Hi,

I know the webmiau (http://www.uebimiau.org/) that is a PHP webmail. I don't know the method to create the mailboxes in a webserver.

I don't want to get your hopes down, but you have no idea of the extent of what you want to do.
Many people think developing a web based solution is not that hard... then they find themselves struggling to build a simple website... imagine making a web mail service.

I will be honest with you, find another project....

My 2 cents.

I know it is a bit late but I just had to answer this because of the last comment.

If you get Sams Teach Yourself ASP E-Commerce Programming, you'll find what you were looking for. Toward the back they show you how to build an online mail manager. Using a couple of the projects in the book, like the subscription service and the mail manager, you could figure out how to put the two together. I think it is a feasible project because the source code is available. It is obvious that your project would be on a lower-level of difficulty, simply because of the additional advanced features of yahoo mail, hotmail, etc.
