# WordPress as an email reader

 * I would like to check my emails via WordPress. I am the site administrator for
   my father’s small business. I would like to make this site as simple as possible
   for my father, which is the reason I chose WordPress for the company website.
 * The thing is that the site is set up with a form that emails customer requests
   to a company email address. I would like to be able to read these emails via 
   WordPress when logged in as an administrator (either via the dashboard, or some
   sort of widget or page plugin).
 * Like I siad, I would like to make this as simple as possible for my father. I
   have my own job and cannot check the email account on a regular basis, and my
   father has technical difficulties. I would like to make the company WordPress
   site a one-stop-shop for all the business’ online needs.
 * Is there anything like that out there in the plugin world? I searched with all
   the keywords I could think of, but there are just so many plugins out there with
   the keyword “email” that what I want could be buried 20 pages back.

 * As far as I am aware, there is nothing in WordPress that can handle your domain
   email.

 * What about a form plugin that instead of sending an email it makes an entry into
   a table in the database?

 * I found this:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7-to-database-extension/)
 * Which saves Contact Form 7 entries into the database and are viewable via the
   Dashboard.
