Abstract :
This paper discusses the implementation of the MultiMedia Mail service (MMMS) as developed in the European RACE project Coordination, Implementation and Operation of MultiMedia services (RACE 2060, CIO). An abstract architecture has been defined in which the MMMS is divided in several functions and components. The implementation of the architecture depends on the requirements of corporations on the MMMS. Since these requirements may vary from one company to another, the architecture has to be sufficiently flexible. In the article, the abstract architecture, the requirements on the MMMS and the implementation of the MMMS are discussed
