uebimiau: Location of incoming mail file?

[jollygreenguy]

Hello all!

I have what I beleive is to be a simple question. I am writting a web based program that routinely checks the incoming mail of a specific email address on the web server. I need to do somethign with all new messages, extract data from it and then delete the message. However, I dont know what file to open and check for new messages.

Does anyone know what file stores the incoming messages for uebimiau? Im using version 2.7.8 build 10 installed in the directory uebimiau.

Thanks!
John

I'm not sure what you're asking, because Uebimiau doesn't store the inbox anywhere. Inboxes of the site users are at /var/spool/mail and inboxes of the virtual users set up for each site are at /var/spool/virtual.

Uebimiau does store other folders in it's own proprietary setup, but that doesn't appear to be what you're asking.

Thanks! I think that will help. When I jump back on the project I will try that out.

Thanks,

If you search forum you will find that uebimiau use tmp folder, and can be a big one, carefull about it because you can double your storage space.
Uebiemiau is obsolete. Don't use it.

If you're not going to allow your clients to use UebiMiau accounts they've already set up be sure to give them ample opportunity to move all the email they've got in various folders; since UebiMiau uses proprietary folders, not IMAP, if you don't, then when you turn off UebiMiau they'll lose a lot of email.

Different Idea

Thanks for the good information! I've been looking at this an entirely wrong way and how dumb I was at that!

I have decided instead of accessing the mail directly, I can just use ASP EasyMail Objects to connect to the POP3 email and issue the commands I need to do what I want with the email, store configuration data in the database and bingo. I basically will build my own mail client into the asp code without acutally using uebimiau.

Thanks!
