    Dear all: I have a task ,and I can't get the idea of how to do it .. I have an app. that contain members in many levels: 1-manager 2-engineer 3-secertary ,something like that. I want to make entire mailing system to enable sending messages from different levels to other levels , just like this: 1-manager can send message to engineer . 2-engineer can send to manager 3-secertary can send message to manager ,and so on and I want each one after login to have inbox ,and outbox and sent items ,and enable him to delete messages.

      This smells like a homework question. If not then why not consider the mailing functionality built into .NET Your "levels" are really just groups. You would send email to the group, and a group is made up of individual email accounts. If a person is a "manager" then they get added to the manager group, and if there are an "engineer" they get added to the engineer group and so on. What you need to do is to break down your problem in to parts, and then break each of the parts into smaller parts until you get to something that you can cope with. For instance, There will be lots of users. You could do this in a database. You could do this with the filesystem. Lets assume it's the file system. So you might want to create a directory for each user. Now, each user has an inbox, outbox, sent items. So, you could then create subdirectories for each of these. Then each email is simply a file in a directory somewhere. This should get you started.

        thanks you for your reply ,but you didn't understand me,or I didn't disscuss the issue well ,but I will now I meant by mailing system not like yahoo groups ,I just mean ,it is like the messaging system in the forum ,that you can send private message to another member,but I want it with level ,and the messages will be saved in the system database ,in the records of the user messages table ,you know..,I just want to handle it entirly without using emails (@domain.com), ex: client for a company want to ask the technical for something ,then he login to the system and choose the technical support from the dropdownlist that contains other levels(manager,secertary,sales) ,and then post a message to him,then when the technical support login to the system he finds the new message in his inbox ,and can reply to the client ,or pass the message to another technical or to the manager to handle it, just it, I hope that I discuss the issue well ,and please reply me with the answer and please if you know a link to a sample for this issue or an article that disscuss it ,please inform me ,thank you again Ahmed Gaser

          I wouldn't re-invent the wheel on this one. It's much easier to use a tool that someone else has constructed than to build one on your own. A good forum product out there is DotNetBB. HTH, -BC
