A Universal Architecture for Ubiquitous Mail Access (Xmail)

Abstract

People all over the world are commonly using the email as their main communication medium. They have been using different kind of mail servers to deliver their mails. Using this medium, you can send a message all over the world within a fraction of time; in turn, you will receive the messages from all over the world within a short time.

When you receive emails from others, Most of them are not encoded in the same algorithm, that can be varied according to the senders email server and client. Therefore, whatever the client you have used to read the mail, it must have ability to decode the mails into the readable format, and otherwise you will not be able to read the mails.

The aim of this project is to give solutions to the clients who connects to the mail server without any standard port or methods of which the clients can get the mails from the server without constraints. Thus, this will be a good solution for them.

In this project, we are using the open source products, and then this will be open source project for every one. In addition to that, this solution can be used as a commercial product, in customizing to the user requirements.

After developing this product, any one can develop his or her own clients that can communicate with this server with XML via HTTP.

This report also contains design of Xmail (common XML mail) server and the way in which it is operating. To understand about the Xmail, one who reads this report should have a fair knowledge about the mail servers and the mail clients commonly used at present.
