Hi, i'm trying to write a sort-of inbox feature for my app.
e.g. having a 'inbox' & 'sent items' area for each logged in user so they can send and receive messages to people logged into the system.
i'm thinking the data model would be something like...
message user_id created_at updated_at
something like that,
the state (not read, read, sent) would determine what box it should sit in, sort of like a blog / list model to connect each message together like a line of history.
unsure.
any thoughts?
I seem to vaugely recall someone writing about a plugin doing that kind of thing. Maybe you can save yourself a bit of time browsing the plugin lists at:

And maybe me memory is corrupted and you should just go ahead and do it yourself. It sounds like a pretty easy task
