Hi, I know this might seem a bit far fetched, but I'd really like it if we could enable integration with email/webmail. So let's say your website is example.com. You have user john.doe and jane.doe. When john.doe sends jane.doe a private message, an email gets send out to jane.doe@example.com from john.doe@example.com.

yes that is a bit far fetched but i wldn't say that it is not possible. firstly, have you got any webmail module with email account working together to receive emails that was sent to @example.com from external network/servers?

Are you sure you even want to use privatemsg in such a case?

A quick search shows that there are the mail_api and Webmail Plus modules that may accomplish what you want.

Well, sending is not that complicated, you can even do that with the rules module, I think: #327938: Rules Integration.

The more complicated part is the reverse. Meaning, a email send to jon@example.org ends up in his inbox. This gets more complicated with threading, multiple recipients and so on.

I've tried webmail plus, but it seems hopelessly full with bugs. Is there any way my suggestion could become reality? It'd be great to be able to use privatemsg for email as well

You can do this with the Rules integration now. On the event "user sends a private message," add an action "send e-mail."
