SquirrelMail http://squirrelmail.org Introduction: ------------- SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP. It includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no Javascript) for maximum compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation. Why did you guys create SquirrelMail? The need arose in our organization for the access of email and address books from anywhere in the world. Obviously a web interface is ideal for this, given that the user has access to the Internet. After reviewing several open source projects, we realized that we were going to need to do some fairly major customizations to get things to be a nice fit for our needs. So the decision was made to create our own for some of these reasons, and for fun (we really like PHP). We decided to open source the project to contribute to the community that has contributed so much to us. Since then, it has grown much bigger than we ever imagined, and we have an awesome development team who are actively working on the project. We would love to hear from you! The nature of open source projects make it hard to know who all is using your product. It is always nice when we get emails from people just telling us that they're using SquirrelMail. If you have a few minutes, please send us an email to let us know! You can send it to our mailing list: squirrelmail-users@lists.sourceforge.net Contact: -------- It is pretty easy to get in contact with the developers if you need help or if you find bugs that need to be reported. The best way to contact us would be through our mailing list which is actively monitored. squirrelmail-users@lists.sourceforge.net NOTE: you need to be subscribed to this mailinglist to be able to post to it!
