Subject: Any good WebMail programs?
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2001 22:44:22 -0800 (PST)
I can use a primer on researching WebMail programs with the following
criterian:
- Linux based
- Free
- Preferably in Perl
- Modularized Authentication subsystem (ie could hook up adapters to
check with LDAP or RDBMS, though Linux can do that also)
- Apache support
- IMAP support
- Multi-lingual (can be a phase II)
- As feature-rich as possible (can be a phase II)
Please note that I'm not looking for a service, I'm looking for the
software itself.

I've used SqWebMail with good success, it certainly seems to have all the
features you wish for. Though I'd like to try Wing too to compare it.

IMP is probably the best but it's written in PHP

This is very off-topic but I'll mention it because you can
install the whole server and be running faster than you
can do the research to find something else. Look at
http://www.e-smith.org. They have a modified Redhat
distribution that is an 'office-in-a-box' and includes
webmail access along with most of the other services
you might want, all managed through a web interface.
If you go to www.e-smith.com instead, you will find
the commercial, supported service, but the .org site
has a free iso image download and pretty good documentation
on how to customize their template-driven configuration.
The webmail program happens to be imp, using php and
it currently doesn't have a way to authenticate against
LDAP, although an LDAP directory is automatically
updated as you add users.

I know this is straying into OT territory, but hopefully someone can
benefit from the discussion.
We used an IMP based product for a while, but if you must customize the
code, TWIG is much easier to read (and *much* more modular) -
twig.screwdriver.net. It's also written in PHP. My headache might have
been from an earlier version of IMP than is now available.
If you are interested in getting the LDAP extensions I have for it, email
me in private (https://neoweb.tamu.edu/ for anonymous access example). I
hope to have a tarball public in a week.
I'm tired of dealing with PHP and it's problems (mainly string comparisons)
so I'm working on moving it all over to Perl over the next year. But that
doesn't help you now :)

I can recommend SquirrelMail (http://www.squirrelmail.org/) It's also
written in PHP, but seems pretty well laid out. It also works well w/
shared hosting. :-)

I would say Indigoperl has a better mail utility
www.indigostar.com
