Webmail client

[[Nicolas]]

I have successfully made a webmail (like Gmail) except I have one issue. I can send emails out, but can't recieve them like, in an inbox inside of that page. How could I make that work if that user doesn't have another webmail?
Also, how could I censor out profane language with php?
Try it out here. You'll recieve the email in like 20 mins :P

Sendmail.php:

<?php
$to = $_REQUEST['email'];
$email = $_REQUEST['eml'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['id'] ;
$subject = "Message from: $id";
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$headers = "noreply@YOURWEBSITE.com";
$body = "From: $name \n\n Email: $email \n\n Wesbite: $site \n\n Message: $message";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers) ;
if($sent)
{echo "<script language='JavaScript'>window.location='Success.htm'</script>";}
else
{echo "<script language='JavaScript'>window.location='Error.htm'</script>";}
?>

This isn't a mail client it's a script that sends mail from your server. I assume your server is using smtp to send the email.

There are ways to get email but it is more technical. This has been talked about here (posts after 7)

and the php functions are here:

You also might find it better to use the PHP header location than the javascript window.location.

If you are receiving the email on your own server and you already have that part configured. You can use this to set it up

Here's an example using gmails server(s).
