Showing Number of Client Emails

[limevps]

As part of my client panel I'd like to show the number of emails that a client has on the link to the email page. Is there a client stat that I can call to retrieve this or is there another way?

 

If there's a way of differentiating between total emails and unread emails, that would be good too

I don't see how that would be possible, unless you had the password for every email account, and WHM/cPanel doesn't allow that (and other control panels are probably the same)

 

However what you could do is include the total disk space (consumption) of the mail folder...

If that is useful to you?

Sorry I wasn't clear - I meant the ability of the client to see WHMCS generated emails from me as their host in their control panel - i.e. as per clientarea.php?action=emails

yes, just create a widget to count the entries in tblemails for their userid

 

there is no way to determine if they've *read* them though.

magic, thanks. I'll give it a go. I now realise there's no way of checking the read/unread thing given they could have read them in their email client!
