-SquirrelMail's goal is to be an easy-to-configure web-based email
-client. For more information about SquirrelMail, please visit our

+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 PHP4). 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.
