New Webmail
I mentioned my list of webmail server packages. Good god. I had no idea just how many there are. Here's my list:

Yes, there's bloody zillions of the buggering things.

Problem is, though, that it's Sturgeon squared when it comes to this category of software.

New There is a lot to choose from...
I wonder if they're proliferating or merely hiding. I went looking for one a few years ago. In my exploration, I found lots that spoke POP3 but precious few that spoke IMAP. Or ones that knew mbox but not Maildir (I was using Courier IMAP on qmail at the time). I did an upgrade to Courier when I discovered SqWebMail.

New I've used both TWIG and Squirrelmail
After playing around with many others... Currently I'm using Squirrelmail as my main mail client. I like it, it's got a lot of plugins available for it (mail filters, weather, newsgroups, etc) as well as being customizable by user.

TWIG has useful calendar support and newsgroup support too, IIRC - but it has been a few years since I've run it.
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Well, that part has definitely changed. My links should help you there, if you're curious.

Or ones that knew mbox but not Maildir (I was using Courier IMAP on qmail at the time). I did an upgrade to Courier when I discovered SqWebMail.

If the webmail application will fetch using any IMAPd, I can't imagine it having problem using Courier. (Mind you, I haven't historically used any MDA other than procmail: I read my mail directly from my MTA's SMTP spool using mutt. No POP3 or IMAP here, just sshd and screen.) Dealing with outbound mail would be a tiny bit more complex, but it's not like the world lacks little utilities that can batch-convert mbox to Maildir.
