Now that I have my Drupal site up and running, I would like to implement a feature that I think others might find useful. Here's a description of what I'm looking for:
My web host allows me to configure up to X mailboxes associated with my domain name. I want to assign these mailboxes to a subset of my site's registered users (e.g., username@mydomain.com, where "username" is the same as the user's registered name on my website --BTW, I expect to manually create these email accounts using my webhost's email admin tools). I then want to allow these select users to access my webhost's webmail login page from a link within the navigation block (preferrably directly above the "administer" link).
I don't wan't anything fancy like auto-login; I just want the user to be taken:
(a) to a static page with a frame that displays the webmail login form.
Or,
(b) directly to the webmail login page.
Is this capability implemented in an existing Drupal module?
I have searched and could not find anything similar, so I am trying to fugure out how to implement it myself. So far, I have created a special role for individuals that I want to assign a username@mydomain.com email to. However, I don't know where to start to implement the desired changes to the Navigation block, or creation of the associated static page/frameset, and linking it to the Navigation block code (Perhaps because I am an absolute newbie, with no business even thinking about these kinds of changes).
