PREFACE

Major Project is one of the most important components in the fulfilment of any

engineering course conducted at any level at any college. Each and every one of us would

always have an added advantage if we have a chance to come face to face with the

equipments and the processes we are being taught in our engineering course .The main

purpose of the training program is to expose the trainees to practical experience of the

actual industrial conditions in which they are required to work in future.

I deem it a privilege to have undergone training in an organization, which has allowed me

to see the actual working of the software industry. At the department of information

technology; we have been given the chance to be familiar with new technologies.

ABSTRACT

This project is about developing a web based mail client connecting to a Linux Server

running a Mail Server and with APACHE as the Web Server.

The Project has the following main functionality

1. Receiving/Sending/organizing mails using POP3

2. Sending mail using send mail

3. Performing Admin functions like managing new user, resetting passwords etc.

The key feature of the project is its capability of accessing mails from other mailing

servers like Rediffmail, Gmail, yahoo etc. In a nutshell, this system will act as a single

window-multiple mail accounts access platform.
