6 | SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP. It |
| 2b996daf |
7 | includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all |
| 8 | pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no Javascript) for maximum compatibility |
| 9 | across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure |
| e8e93280 |
10 | and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality you would want from an |
| 2b996daf |
11 | email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder |
| 12 | manipulation. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Why did you guys create SquirrelMail? The need arose in our organization |
| 15 | for the access of email and address books from anywhere in the world. |
| 16 | Obviously a web interface is ideal for this, given that the user has access |
| 17 | to the Internet. After reviewing several open source projects, we realized |
| 18 | that we were going to need to do some fairly major customizations to get |
| 19 | things to be a nice fit for our needs. So the decision was made to create |
| 238d4cfc |
20 | our own for some of these reasons, and for fun (we really like PHP). We |
| 2b996daf |
21 | decided to open source the project to contribute to the community that has |
| 22 | contributed so much to us. Since then, it has grown much bigger than we |
| 23 | ever imagined, and we have an awesome development team who are actively |
| 24 | working on the project. |

| 26 | We would love to hear from you! The nature of open source projects make it |
| 27 | hard to know who all is using your product. It is always nice when we get |
| 28 | emails from people just telling us that they're using SquirrelMail. If you |
| 2b996daf |
29 | have a few minutes, please send us an email to let us know! You can send it |
