Capability to check email while on Profile page

[mia_undertaker]

Here is what I am looking for and I think it will make a great mod. It could possibly even win Mod of the Month

We have a lot of members on our site that check their emails through the cpanel email system. This sucks and is a long process to just see if you have email. Without have to walk every user through setting it up in Outlook, here is what I would like to see:

In users profile they would have a spot to setup the email settings.

E-mail Address

User Name

Password

Incoming mail server (POP3)

Outgoing mail server (SMTP)

Then within their profile page you would be able to access their email without leaving our site. Many of my members have an email account through my domain and this would make it much much easier to check everything in one place.

I wouldnt want it to just link to the external source and then send them there to check their email. A pop up or something like that would be ok or even better if it was a tab in their profile they could click on and get their email from there.

Any takers on this?

Thanks,
Charles
