Help creating web based email applicatio

[bjblackmore]

Hi Guys,
I'm writing a web based email application, so i can check my mail away from home. I've managed to get it to open my 3 accounts, list them in a hotmail style display, with a table with subject, from, date, and size. Then u click on the subject, and it displays the individual message.
My problem is, in the message list, I have a check box next to each message, if you check the checkbox, and press 'Delete' its meant to delete the message, just like hotmail. However, i'm not quite sure how to do this. If the checkbox have the message_id value, of say '1', it will delete all message ids with value 1, in accounts 1, 2 or 3. How can i tell it to just delete message with id 1, in account 1,2 or 3, but not from all accounts?
Cheers
Ben

one method would be to name your checkboxes something like this:

name='msg[1][5]'

Where 1 is the id of the account and 5 is the id of the message. In the receiving end, you bounce around the $msg array and start toasting messages, relying on the key to identify each one.

That sounds like an idea, do you think it would be possible to do it with the value, rather than name? Cause I have a javascript, so if you click another checkbox at the top, it checks all the checkboxs, like on hotmail, so you don't have to check them individually, and it works on the checkbox name, so it needs to be the same for all.

sure, just make the value something like "1,5" for acct 1 msg 5 and do the sorting on the other side.
