DOES anyone have an idea on how to make a commercial EMAIL website? thanks.?

yes, I know how to make a Email website like what you would see from the old version of Hotmail.  the newer versions of Yahoo mail, Gmail, and Hotmail are A LOT more complicated. but I understand how it works.\n\nwhat you need:\n  Webserver (like IIS)\n  Mail Server (Like Exchange)\n  Server-Side Scripting language.\n  \nand that's about it.\n\nthen you start to build your site systems.\nlike the user log on system, Tracking system, Email system, etc.\n\nOf course there's also a few open source projects dealing with this right now also, check out www.sourceforge.net for more information.

I recently was approached by a friend of a friend to produce them a modelling website.  I said yes.\n\nWhat i didn't tell them was i had never done a web-page before!!  Well I downloaded a program called coffeecup that gives you fairly clean code (compared to Frontpage), and used its visual editor to start.  I then looked at the code it had produced to see what was going on.  After also looking up different HTML tags and how to do tables and such, it was much easier and i was now able to write HTML without using the visual editor.\n\nI then had to tackle PHP to do a few bits.  I used these websites to get what i wanted.\n\nhttp://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/index.phtml/fid/51\nhttp://www.zend.com/php/index.php\nhttp://www.devtek.org/tutorials/image_gallery.php\nhttp://www.webdeveloper.com/\n\nAnyway i went from knowing nothing to producing a website, with changing images, a web based contact form and a shopping cart (short list) in about 2 weeks of on and off looking at it after work.\n\nIt is more than possible to learn to do web design in short amounts of time.  Obviously for more complex features it just takes longer, but i have found all information available on the web that i need.  Certainly no need for a 10,000 course.  Also simply look at the source for websites to see what others are doing.\n\nGet a project to work on, research the web and do it!\n\nGood luck and enjoy.\n\nFor my small triumph, visit http://www.seenmodels.com

You dont say what program you are using for email or I would try to help you. There are bunches of ways to do email. (:

Tom, I suspect that email is still the preferred method of online communication by most.  We have used other methods as our web design company is obviously concerned with such things, but what we've found is that regardless of technical advantages and disadvantages of any methodology, common usage rules the game and basically everyone who has a computer also has an email address.\n\nBest wishes!\n\nDaniel\nhttp://www.ipowergrfx.com

If your hosting your own site there are a dozen good email setups. If you use Linux to host your site it's even easier. All you need is a web front end on top of Postfix or sendmail. This will give you solid security and performance. Postfix is the better of the two. \n\nFor the web front end I suggest using Openwebmail. There are a dozen good clients for this. \n\nspamassassin is the best spam blocker I know of right now. There are 100 products but this one is free, effective and very configurable. \n\nFor controling your system, you can use the comercial product control panel which will configure most of this for you but costs money. Cubepanel is another popular one. Not sure how good it is. \n\nFor the backend most email systems use MySQL. \n\nThe good news is with Linux almost all of this is already installed. Configure your Yum repositories or equivalent appget for some distros and in minutes the rest can be installed. \n\nI would discourage you from using a windows server for your email host. Instead use a service like usa.net which will remotely host your email for a fee. I believe Yahoo also offers a similer service. The email products from these companies are greatly limited in size of mail boxes, how many email addies and other important aspects. Running a web server and email server on the same machine on a windoze box is asking for trouble. It's also asking to be hacked.

YEAH! Your question is easy because it's done all the time.\n\nI'll assume you have the database.\n\nFirst thing is your email template.  You can do this in the program or a better practice is to keep your emails either in a library or in separate files.  This males finding an email and changing it easier down the road.\n\nNext you write a program you bring the database and the email together like a maillist merge in wordprocessing.\n\nYou program will open the db, grab all the records you want to send the email to and for each one you\nll send the email message.\n\nNow the above is the logic to use no matter what type of server you are own.\n\nIf you are Apache with MySQL and PHP or a combo close then you'd use the MySQL connection your webhost setup as to how to acces it and Apache server email programs is usually SendMail.\n\nA combo of html and SendMail will be the email "code" part of your project.  The SendMail allows you to insert fields, the ones you'll pull from the database into the email.\n\nSo you can send mail with Dear John, etc...\n\nSendMail has greeting, salutaion, body sections which you can write as html or use scripting.  The trick is the receivers email must understand html and not block it and any scripting commands like Yahoo does.\n\nIf you're .NET the email namspace to learn more is System.Net.Mail, same logic applies, only thins has more stuff built in for you to play with.  The database or datasource can be Access, MSSQL, Oracle or MySQL and other dbs, it's Microsoft so more db makers are out there for the environment.\n\nNow, after you'd picked up the quick info on the command, you'll use save you fingers some headaches and go to a code site like CodeProject or DevSource and grab some free code doing emailing for the language and server you're using.  You may have to tweek the fields they'll use and of course your email not will be different.

First and Foremost - have you looked at Yahoo's email?  It's very good - and sound like it will do what you want.  Plus, the Beta (not yet fully released - but soon - I HOPE!) is looking like it will blow all other web based emails (Hotmail, Gmail) out of the water!!!  I can't wait!  :)\n\nSecond - try Thunderbird.  (http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird)\n\nIt's supposed to be an excellent email program - and offers a TON of add-ons that will help you make it even more powerful.  Just know that it is a program in flux.  It's what is called "Open-Source" meaning the code for it is open, and everyone helps build it and work with it.  This is a good thing, but also means a program like that will operate like a beta program at times because it needs to be "tweaked" yet.\n\nI also have a friend who likes "The Bat."  I know nothing about it - other than he LOVES it and swears by it.  Do a Yahoo search on "The Bat Email" and you'll find it.  :)\n\nI hope this helps!

If you're going to develop it yourself, you'll need to be able to allow users to email the cards to their recipients and include a message.\nLots of free tutorials online:\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-msgr&p=php%20tutorial%20mail\n\nPHP does have a learning curve, but it's not as steep as most languages. You might also consider joining some groups and forums that focus on PHP development for more detailed Q&A...

if its in an email where the client doesnt automatically do that:\n\n<a href="website address"> website address </a>\n\nreplace website address with whatever address you want to send.

Learn PHP. Besides that you can use my PHP mail client which is at http://www.beginninghost.info/mail/use.php\nIt's completely free, and you can pretend to be whoever you want, but YOU CAN NOT PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE YOU'RE NOT.\nIt's all in teh terms and conditions :->.\nI'm currently updating the version to have an admin acp, and newer, better graphics. If you want it for your server just ask for the source code.\nYou can ask- matt@runempire.com

I agree with tendersighs - I wish we could do something about spam that actually worked.\n\nSpammers know we dont want to be bothered with their junk so shouldnt we have a right to not get bothered by it?  Shouldnt spammers have to pay you for your time and annoying you? They are worse than tv commercials, and commercials have no effect on your tv- but spam can mess up your pc\n\nI dont know about anyone else, but these spammers will just hit you with a million different techniques and names no matter what rules you set in your email- unless you only accept mail from people you know- butdont we actually know way more people than we can remember when we are setting these rules= so how much gets sent to junk mail that isnt?

I think you mean make a sort of feedback page. This is done by using a form and PHP.\n\nThis is the code I use on my form:\n\n------\n<form method="post" action="contact.php">\n<i><strong>Name or nickname:</strong></i><br />\n<input type="text" name="nname" size="25">\n<p></p>\n<i><strong>Your E-mail adress:</strong></i><br />\n<input type="text" name="email" size="25">\n<p></P>\n<p> </p>\n<i><strong>Pick a Subject.</strong></i><br>\n<select name="subject">\n<option name="subject">Contribute to our site</option>\n<option name="subject">Suggestions&Comments</option>\n<option name="subject">Affiliate inquiry</option>\n<option name="subject">Question/comment</option>\n<option name="subject">Other</option>\n</select>\n<br />\n<i><strong>Place message into box below:</strong></i>\n<br />\n<font size="1" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> ( You may enter up to 3,500 characters. )<br>\n<textarea name="message" wrap=physical cols=45 rows=11 onKeyDown="textCounter(this.form.message,this.form.remLen,3500);" onKeyUp="textCounter(this.form.message,this.form.remLen,3500);" onClick="this.select()">Enter message here</textarea>\n<br>\n<input readonly type=text name=remLen size=3 maxlength=4 value="3500"> characters left</font>\n<br />\n<input type="submit" value="Send">\n<input type="reset" value="Clear the form">\n</form>\n----\n\nNow I used a javascript to have a cool feature, but let's forget about that for now. First I set up the form with the <form> tag, then gave it the attributes method="post" and action="contact.php". This means that it posts the inputted data on my file contact.php. Let us take a look at the basic code for that!:\n\n<?php\n$to = "support@ohjjin.com";\n$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];\n$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;\n$name = $_REQUEST['nname'];\n$message = wordwrap($message, 70);\n$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;\n$headers = "From: $email, $nname";\n$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);\n?>\n\nEverything with the "$" sign then text is a name of something in the form, hence the "REQUEST_" part. It is requesting the defined names. Look up at the code for my form and find all of these excluding $sent and $headers; only the ones with the "REQUEST_" part in it.\n\n You should see name="nname", name="email", name="message", and so on. Everything inputted on the previous form is sent to the php file and processed.\n\nWhat this is doing is receiving the data, compiling it, then using the mail() function to send everything. \n\nI realise this is probably very confusing. Though take some time and mess around with this. If you need extra help you can contact me at administrator@ohjjin.com

I'm missing your question... what is the business idea? Or is that simply a promo for the video? (in which case, I suggest ending the video with a webpage vs. an email address).

Here's a web site where you can plug in your email address and it will create the Javascript code that you can just copy and paste into your site.  \n\nYour email address will look normal and unprotected when you browse the page, but the spam harvesters won't be able to capture it.  I've used it alot and it works great.  It has already cut down on my spam.
