Webmail @ OB ? - Orchid Board

What do you guys think of this feature!

I could install webmail to be a part of the OrchidBoard.
You could configure your own POP3 email settings into OB, then use OB as a client for checking/sending messages, while you're away from your computer.

You wouldn't need to open up a yahoo e-mail account just to check your ISPs email. You could configure OB to do it.

this way, you come to OB, check your email, talk orchids, upload some photos, buy some orchids, write your blog, heheh...It's a whole OrchidBoard experience....

any feedback? If that's something you guys would like I'll set it up.

Marty, I've been giving this some thought for 2 days now and still can't decide if it's something that we need here.

Hopefully, some other members will chime in with their opinions...

If you can't decide it means it's not a must

I thought others would reply before me, but I like the idea, just do not think my email server allows me to pop to your webmail. I have had problems in the past trying to pull my email over to other servers and not sure if I am missing a step and or server restriction. I have 2 emails I go into right now and really do not want 1 more, unless I can get them all to group together.

You wouldn't get an extra email address from Orchidboard. It would be a mail client, with which you could check your current emails while away. Most likely you can pop your mail, maybe you had the settings wrong.
