please advise on how to go about implementing pop up messages on a web based system. where by a user logs in to the system using the email address and when logged in he/she can be notified on incoming emails.
how can i capture incoming emails and implement a pop up message that alerts the user.

The server would need to poll the mail server, probably using pop or imap. The web application also needs to poll the server, to be able to inform the user if a new message was received.

How do you go about implementing poll or imap?
