Hi ,
I’m wondering wich is the best way to save a mail reference on a form where I want to save backoffice activities done.
For istance I phoned and I sent a mail. How can I record the mail ?
I don’t know if there is a trick or something else to do that in the right way. Probably user want to use Outlook.
The worst way could be to create a tinyblob field and save there a clipboard hardscreen. (Is it possible…?? without saving it before ?).
If you send a mail you could let that mail be send by scriptcase app. Then you simply can store it as text in your db. To retrieve the mail you need to implement a pop client. I wouldn’t start working with hard-copies I think, but it might be that you cannot avoid that. There are a lot of php samples to retrieve email.
Unfortunately it’s not possible. The company email solution is only Outlook … no alternatives.
Are you saying that could be an add on of Outlook that store the mail content in somewhere ?
Only outlook? Even outlook needs a (mail)host. Or is all tied to an Exchange server?
I don’t really has any info about that but they are an Hospital and so I imagine a standard intallation.
Useually even a hospital has a smtp for sending mail and pop/imap for retrieving. These settings are stored in the outlook account section. What might be an issue is that they will have their mailserver protected for connections of a webserver. In general, if you are creating an application for a customer like a hospital (i write medical apps too) then you should go into contact of the it dept. I managed to work around these issues by negotiating with the it dept of the customer (hospital/medical facility etc).
