We have an existing project that is in its final stages, and the missing part is the email client and its integration with some functions in the existing code.We are currently using an email component, but the previous developer was uncapable os achieve the desired resilts. We need to either have the existing code finalized or to start a new path of development with a new compoenent. Either way the solution must be fast and cost effective since we already invested a lot of money in this project and we are way iver our initial budget.Email ClientIt is necessary to create or improve the existing internal mail client. We need an email client that would behave like outlook, with templates, signatures, configuration of several email accounts, and etc. We need to easily send, receive and process email messages using Smtp, Pop3, Imap and Mime libraries.Send Send emails with or without an Smtp server Send html emails with embedded images and styles Send both plain text and html content in the same message Add any number of attachments, images or documents Send a whole web page as an email with a few lines of code Receive Retrieve email messages from Pop3 and Imap4 servers Display email contents such as From, Subject, Body and attachments Delete any emails from the mailbox Search, sort, mark and partially retrieve messagesMailboxesWe need to go further the concept of mailbox and we would have a online folder, which are the actual email accounts been checked by the several users, and when a specific user gets an email from any of these online boxes the message will be removed from the server, and then copied to the local email box of the user. The structure will be similar to the one shown below.Username online (these boxes are reading from the server) mailbox1 mailbox2 mailbox3 inbox (this box has the massages brought from the server by the user) outbox deleted drafts sent filed 2005 jan feb mar 2004 2003TemplatesEvery time we need to communicate with one of the contacts we must have the option to use templates. These templates may be used when creating new massages, answering messages, forwarding messages, and etc so the communication process with the customer is faster and clear. These templates need to be HTML compatible, and we must have a formatting bar option like outlook has, so we can insert images, create tables, make bold text, create links and etc.LinkingThe documents sent or receive that are sentreceived for a contact must be linked to it so whenever we need to browse for hishers information that data will be available to us.QuotesThe overall idea of the project is to sell. And we need to be able to send quotes to the contact through a interface that uses the email client as basis for sending the message, in this case the quote.History IntegrationIts mandatory for this email client to write all the history incoming email, forwarded email, new email, and everything else that we had with this customer in hishers contact. This is necessary so we can better assist the customer and we can track down problems or resolve issues by reading through this history.Additional Info (Added 3032005 18:54 (EST))...Please note: this Projet is to be developed in Delphi 7.0TechnologyService:ASPDelphiHTMLSQLMessages Posted: 3Developers Bid Delivery Within Time of Bid Rating technokid 87520 day(s)142005 14:33 (EST)(No Feedback Yet)
Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
