| 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 |
