archive_mail plugin

Rate this Message:
Hi All,
I am contemplating re-writing the archive_mail plug in so that it can archive more than one folder, and to save via FTP to the users home directory (much like the vacation plug writes it's files). It also needs to be able to archive by date, so what I was thinking is that instead of the archive button on the main page, you would go to a special page (e.g. Options > AutoArchive) and you would fill in the destination, select which folders you want to archive, and a date. That would open a new window, maybe using AJAX, that would act as a status page and allow you to go back to work while running. There should also be some sort of locking to prevent multiple archive processes running at the same time for a given user. We will also need an option that deletes the email after each successful archiving operation. However, I am a complete plug-in newbie so would be looking for some assistance / guidance. I know there are some limitations with the old plug-in which I am hoping can be got around by not trying to zip the file because that is probably what causes the time-outs and memory exhaustion, and let the user zip the file themselves afterwards. So here's the $64K question: I think I can write the actual script that does the work, but I need help to integrate it into Squirrelmail.Maybe it needs to be a new plug-in rather than hacking an old one. Or maybe someone is already working on one and I can help them instead. Regards, Marco -- Marco van Beek ========================================== Forget About IT Ltd.

When coding for SquirrelMail (both the core and the plugins) you'll find useful information in the SquirrelMail Developer's Manual. http://squirrelmail.org/docs/devel/devel.html Usually I'd recommend to work together with the current maintainer, but as far as I know Archive Mail is up for adoption (or replacement) so please go ahead. -- Fredrik Jervfors The SquirrelMail Project Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donations.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
