| | 4 | Introduction: |
| | 5 | ------------- |
| | 6 | SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP. It |
| | 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 |
| | 10 | and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality you would want from an |
| | 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 |
| | 20 | our own for some of these reasons, and for fun (we really like PHP). We |
| | 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. |
| | 25 | |
| | 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 |
| | 29 | have a few minutes, please send us an email to let us know! You can send it |
| | 30 | to our mailing list: squirrelmail-users@lists.sourceforge.net |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | Contact: |
| | 33 | -------- |
| | 34 | It is pretty easy to get in contact with the developers if you need help or |
| | 35 | if you find bugs that need to be reported. The best way to contact us would |
| | 36 | be through our mailing list which is actively monitored. |
