email server integration

[anujgarg]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to integrate an email server with my web application. All I need to do is - to send/receive mails that are being sent within the application is to be shown on this email server. Precisely, instead of checking the mails on their personal mail accounts (viz. gmail, yahoo), users can check their mail on that email server only.

 

I am choosing Zimbra for this purpose. But I want to know the following questions:

 

1) How a 3rd party tools is integrated with PHP, (any example)?

2) For mailing server, should I need to use SOAP, PEAR to interact with my application?

3) If anyone of you has integrated any mail server in any of your web app, please do let me know.

 

This is the first time for me to integrate any mail server with PHP.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Anuj

I would search the internet for "php email client". There are a lot of them to choose from.
