How To Forward Email Messages To Your Developed Application by rushman003: 10:00am On Aug 08, 2016
Hello geeks in da house.
How are you doing. It's been a while,
Please I want us to brainstorm on this question together in order to see how it can be tackled. Have been on a project for sometimes now and the point I am now is to integrate a mail notification function which I'm finding it very hard to get my way a round it. I want my application to automatically get a copy of any message that hit my mail inbox or spam folder without me having to go check my mail. Can this be achieved, who has done it before. Please let's have a section! Thank you fellaz


Waiting for those big guys. Dhtml8, guru01, booya the female programmer, danielthegeek, and otherz how can I achieve this grin

Sure you can find a solution for this. PHP has some mailbox functions that can help you with this.

If you're talking about a mobile app, then you can use Gmail API for Google mail.

Programmableweb.com for mail APIs

I guess you are trying to make your application get mails from a mail client and display the data in your application. You can have a script that detects the mail client, something more like this algo:

if(Yahoo) {
// Code to run, if mail client is Yahoo
} else if (Gmail) {
//Code to run, if mail client is Gmail
}

Then after finding the client, use the respective API based on the mail client. I haven't implemented such infrastructure into any of my projects before, but I know this resolves around SMTP.

Highly furious i was not included in your list of helpers. angry But will still go ahead and help you.
Easiest way to go about doing this and still have the robust features you want are 2 major ways.

a. Using a mail script(php or any language), create a rest api for your mail service on your server.
This is beneficial, if you want to integrate the mail function with an existing rest api.

b. Just look for a simple pop3 or imap client and use it in your app. You need to enable pop3/imap in your mail service else it wont work.
