I am planning to write an internal messaging system for my users.
Should I
be using Actionmailer ? I am not interested in using any plugin or 3rd
party sw as I want to learn some ror.
Is actionmailer used mainly for feedback and sending general emails.
I am a new to rails so any suggestions and ideas are welcome.

ActionMailer is a class which encapsulates the creation of mail
messages (in various formats) from ActiveModel instances using
ActionView templates and delivering those messages. It is roughly
analogous to ActionController in a Web application, but specialized
around the e-mail format. It is a very general purpose tool, suitable
for use in building more specialized systems as you need.
Thanks for your input. Since I want a messaging system which will not
send
messages outside, will it be helpful to use ActionMailer or just write
my
own set of classes.

If you’re not actually delivering e-mail using the Internet Mail
protocols, then you don’t need to use ActionMailer. Are you referring
to a “private message” system on a Web site, where one member can send
a note to another member? That’s not mail, and the only interaction
such a system would have with actual Cap-M-Mail would be if you design
in a “ping” system that sends an alert through mail to the recipient,
alerting them to a new message. And for that, yes, you would use
ActionMailer to compose and deliver the ping message.
