6 | Introduction: |
7 | ------------- |
2b996daf |
8 | SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP4. It |
9 | includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all |
10 | pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no Javascript) for maximum compatibility |
11 | across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure |
12 | and install. SquirrelMail has a all the functionality you would want from an |
13 | email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder |
14 | manipulation. |
15 | |
16 | Why did you guys create SquirrelMail? The need arose in our organization |
17 | for the access of email and address books from anywhere in the world. |
18 | Obviously a web interface is ideal for this, given that the user has access |
19 | to the Internet. After reviewing several open source projects, we realized |
20 | that we were going to need to do some fairly major customizations to get |
21 | things to be a nice fit for our needs. So the decision was made to create |
22 | our own for some of these reasons, and for fun (we really like PHP4). We |
23 | decided to open source the project to contribute to the community that has |
24 | contributed so much to us. Since then, it has grown much bigger than we |
25 | ever imagined, and we have an awesome development team who are actively |
26 | working on the project. |

28 | We would love to hear from you! The nature of open source projects make it |
29 | hard to know who all is using your product. It is always nice when we get |
30 | emails from people just telling us that they're using SquirrelMail. If you |
