Add-on modules for E-Sri Lanka Mail - Introduction

As our level 3 project we are working on “Add-on modules for E-Sri Lanka Mail”

Introduction

This project is mainly intended to contribute to the project e-Sri Lanka Mail service that has been undertaken by the LK Domain and which is planned to be developed as a full-featured, easy to use, tri-lingual mail service like Gmail or Yahoo mail. In addition to the ordinary features, this will be done with some more modules that will contribute for better functionality. Our contribution to this project will be by undertaking the two modules, Identification and Reputation and the Address book feature which are only a few of the modules that are to be implemented. The problem that we are going to address in this is as follows

Now a day most of the people tend to do illegal thins by creating email accounts using other peoples' names. Such people are doing illegal things, may be with the intention of harming the reputation of that person or for his/her own personal benefits. Many people have had to face many inconveniences because of such people. Importance of addressing this type of a problem is to make the receiver of the email to be sure about the sender's identity and to minimize the above mentioned threats and it's potentials to come.

As a solution to the above mentioned problem, we are going to implement the module, Identification and reputation through which, it is expected to identify the person before it is allowed him to create an account and for this some standard way such as authenticating the user by the NIC number and having some sort of an intervention of the mobile service providers as well are expected to be done. And the other module we are going to do is an additional feature that is an Address book for the convenience of the users. This will facilitate the user to keep an address book that is flexible for him to share among the users, upload and download from and to the mobile phone at the same time. For the above solutions, the Horde platform and some other technologies will be used, and they will be described as we are going on developing.
