hello. i love the webmail lite i just downloaded. It is much better than squirrel mail.
Now I plan on integrating webmail lite with my CMS. So when users login to my website, it will automatically login to their email accounts. All they would have to do is click the "read email" button and it would take them straight to their inbox.
Now I thought about implementing the "YOU HAVE MAIL" message. That way, people are notified if there is actually new mail in their inbox. How would I do this? Any ideas?
I was thinking to get a count of the unread messages in their inbox. if it is 1 or more, then display message. but i do not know how to count the unread messages yet. can anyone enlighten me?

This can be easily achieved due to integration API for ASP.NET version and for PHP version.

This cannot be implemented in WebMail Lite as it doesn't use a database backend. POP3 protocol doesn't allow distinguishing between new/unread and old/read messages, the only things it allows are downloading and deleting messages.
However, WebMail Pro uses a database backend and stores message statuses for POP3 protocol in the database. Also, WebMail is an e-mail client and it cannot perform any actions until user initiate it.
Notifying users about new mail is a background task which should check for new mails independently on what user is doing. So, to achieve what you need, you'd need to purchase WebMail Pro and develop some kind of Windows service (or scheduled task) which will periodically poll users mailboxes and download new messages to WebMail Pro database, then your application would be able to lookup for new messages there and notify users. We can implement this for you in terms of a custom project. Please contact us through Development Services request form if you're interested in this.
Best regards,
Andrew
