4 | Introduction: |
5 | ------------- |
6 | SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP4. It includes |
7 | built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all pages render |
8 | in pure HTML 4.0 (with no Javascript) for maximum compatibility across |
9 | browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure and |
10 | install. SquirrelMail has a all the functionality you would want from an email |
11 | client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation. |
12 | |
13 | Why did you guys create SquirrelMail? The need arose in our organization for |
14 | the access of email and address books from anywhere in the world. Obviously |
15 | a web interface is ideal for this, given that the user has access to the |
16 | Internet. After reviewing several open source projects, we realized that |
17 | we were going to need to do some fairly major customizations to get things |
18 | to be a nice fit for our needs. So the decision was made to create our |
19 | own for some of these reasons, and for fun (we really like PHP4). We |
20 | decided to open source the project to contribute to the community that has |
21 | contributed so much to us. Since then, it has grown much bigger than we ever |
22 | imagined, and we have an awesome development team who are actively working |
23 | on the project. |
24 | |
25 | We would love to hear from you! The nature of open source projects make it |
26 | hard to know who all is using your product. It is always nice when we get |
27 | emails from people just telling us that they're using SquirrelMail. If you |
28 | have a few minutes, please send us an email to let us know! You can send |
29 | it to our mailing list: squirrelmail-list@sourceforge.net |
