Re: [PLUG] web-based email

[Stephen Brown <steve@dataclarity.net>]

I have been working with phpGroupWare over the past few weeks,
and it is better than, or as decent as the other webmail programs I have
tried. phpGroupWare.org if you are interested - a beta release is
planned
for early next week (you will want to start with the CVS code and
skip the releases shown on the page since they are quite out of date).

Another thing to consider - you *really* want to run whatever webmail
program you do choose against the a raw maildir or through IMAP.
pop and mbox are too slow for webmail with more than a few hundred
messages to deal with.

The mail suite Courier has a webmail interface (sqwebmail I think 
is the name) tightly integrated with the IMAP and POP servers, but 
I don't care for the interface too much.
