What's the best messaging plugin for Rails?

I need some standard messaging functionality in my app (i.e. messages received, messages sent, read/unread, trash, etc.)

I've found a few promising leads - acts_as_messageable, has_messages, 开发者_如何学GoActiveMessaging. I'm leaning toward has_messages.

Any experience using these plugins? What's the best choice here?

Depending on what you're trying to do you should seriously considering writing this yourself, especially if it's one of your main features. I took a look at all the plugins you mentioned and found that each one wasn't quite what I wanted.

That said acts_as_messageable is great if it does what you want.

Also, ActiveMessaging is for message queues, not for people sending each other messages from within your application.
