Due to the need for multilingual e-mail address, EAI Working Group of the IETF has created a wide range of standards associated with e-mail address internationalization(EAI) since 2006. One of the authors and colleagues designed and implemented the mail server, SMTPUTF8, that supports EAI RFC protocols. SMTPUTF8 mail server is composed of new SMTP and POP3 servers supporting EAI RFC protocols. However, SMTPUTF8 did not include a new IMAP server supporting EAI RFC protocol. Recently many people are using smart phones to read and send e-mail messages in a mobile environment. IMAP server is more useful than POP3 server in a mobile environment. Therefore, in this paper, the authors have designed and implemented IMAP server and client app that complies with the IMAP standard (RFC) published by EAI WG of IETF to support multilingual e-mail address. This IMAP server is added to the SMTPUTF8 mail server so that users can access e-mail messages via IMAP client app in a mobile environment.

This paper presents a multimedia mail system which transmit and redeive multimedia mailing messges on Intemet.This mail system is an extension of the exsting e-mail system for multimedia uncluding,text,image,MPEG video,and binary data,The MIME(Multipurpose Intert Mail Extensions)format,which is an extension of REF-822 maill format,is used to reprssent multimedia,and SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)is utilized as a mail transport prttocol.The IMAP(Intenet Mail Access Protcol)which privides more functions than the widely used POP(Post Office Protocol)is used as a mailbox retrival protocol.The mail client is complemented on a multimedia PC while the server is implemented on a UNIX system.In the mail system, a mail sending program allows a user to attach binary files such as Postscript files and MPEG compressed video,while a receiving program provides direct interface to application programs to play back received multimedia mail messages.

최근 Outlook Express나 유도라와 같은 메일 프로그램이 웹 브라우저를 이용하여 메일을 송수신 할 수 있는 웹 메일 서비스가 제공되면서 점진적으로 기존의 메일 서비스를 대체하고 있다. 기존 메일 시스템은 메시지 전송 에이전트(sendmail)의 보안상 허점 및 파일 잠금 현상, CGI방식의 과도한 오버헤드, POP3 프로토콜의 위치 투명성 지원 미비 등 여러 가지 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 메일 시스템의 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 PHP와 큐 메일, IMAP 프로토콜을 사용한 3-티어 구조의 웹 메일 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템은 강화된 보안 기능과 안전한 메시지 수신을 보장하며 부하 분산을 통해 서버의 효율이 향상되었다.
