Yes, I found the .MBX file format description in the IMail SDK. I will write a little app that reads out all mbx files from every user and then generates a mail with the digest of all new spammails from the last day (if there are new mails).

It's sad that it is cant be done with Imail, but I think thats the fastest solution for me.

How can you read the contents of a mailbox? IMail .MBX files are in standard mbox format with a proprietary index in the .UID file, but you don't need to interpret the index if you don't mind the performance hit. You can also, of course, use any standard POP3 or IMAP4 mail reader, though this will mark the messages as read.

Content of a mailbox?

Martin Koberstein — Tue, 17 Aug 2004 03:41:45 GMT

Every user on my mail server has a spam mailbox. Now I want that the user receives a daily digest (only the sender, date/time and the subject) with all new mails in this folder. So that he can decide if he has to logon to webinterface in order to move wrong filtered mails to his inbox mailbox or not.

So my question is how I could read the content of a special mailbox. The best would be that this function could be managed with Imail allone, but I think that it is not possible.

I would be apreciate for any help.

regards,

Martin
