I don't know where this post is meant to go so I'll put it here.
I would like to display all of my emails on a page, in a table.
Do you know how to retrieve them and display them in a table?
thanks

where will u retrieve it from? mysql? your little black book? if it's in electronic format somewhere, most probably you will be lucky.

Rofl - just insert it into your floppy drive and make the table read from A:/
But in seriousness, the table would probably be set up like this:
| Code: |
<table>
<tr>
<td>Personal</td>
<td>mypersonaladdy@yahoo.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Work related</td>
<td>johndoe@frm-systems.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>My gmail account</td>
<td>mysecondemailaddyroflmao@gmail.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>My AOL address</td>
<td>lol@aol.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>All AOL addresses also have a counterpart ending in @AIM, so...</td>
<td>lol@aim.com</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>The more the merrier, right?</td>
<td>imwastingyourharddrivespacegoogle@gmail.com</td>
</tr>
</table> |
Why you'd have so many email addresses you'd need to show them in a table is beyond me, but I'm pretty sure that's the right type of table code (xhtml compliant too).Well, we're making a live podcast, so we need to be able to retrieve emails without having to click them. And it's easier if they're all in one place...
i don't know anything about live podcast. maybe u can explain more how you got all those e-mail, and where are all those e-mail stored now.
Well, the emails are stored in my pop3 server. I need it to connect to my mail server, retrieve the emails and display them in a table. So we don't have to open the webmail. Instead of having to read each message individually, we can just go to a password protected page and then view the emails all on one page. 
I hope it makes sense,
MiniK It's possible but it is probably complicated. This would have to be done with programming language that can extract from a webpage like PHP. It'd probably be a process like the script accesses the webmail through it's own defined login so it knows what email account to read, then retrieve all values in the file that read as [something]@[something].[com/net/org/etc]
Somebody should move this to PHP/MySQL because it's more relevent to PHP rather than HTML/CSS/Javascript.
The programming is beyond me, sorry. It's really difficult if emails are like from POP server
as DjinniFire said, you have to use php, as it is the easiest way of doing it. I dont know what do you know about php, and i wont code it for you, but i can guide you through the process if you wan. first use google. there are problbly tons of scripts already coded to list messages from a pop3 server.
i did a little research and yes, php allows you to interact esily with a pop3 server. You can check all of the functions and guides in php.net, and the functions for the IMAP protocol are in this page:
http://www.php.net/imap
if you need more asistance, ask a moderatos to move this topic to php forum, there someone will be able to help you better.
luck 
minik, I thought it was a recorded and then distributed podcast?
I still think it's a good way to retrieve the emails maybe for the MN Email page.
