Hi all, wondering if the following is possible.
A MS Exchange server is connected to an Outlook client. Would it be possible to capture sent/recieved emails and add them to a database using PHP.
I would like to investigate whether I could use this functionality to create a small email ticketing system, however, i would also like to retain use of the mailbox.
As I read https://www.google.com/#q=php+email+reader+from+microsoft+exchange+server the answer looks to be yes. But. Isn't there always a but? It appears you would also be in control of your Exchange Server to tweak that end as well.
In fact, the top 10 finds include some ticket systems.
The Exchange server is hosted through a subscription with Office 365, so I can administrate the server, but am not exactly in control of it.
...Could I use IMAP, this seems like a pretty neat solution? http://php.net/manual/en/book.imap.php
Looks like a way but. Isn't there always a but? The code seems to need the password in the code. This means that it's a support problem in the making so with that out in the open, go ahead and solve it but ponder security implecations and more.
