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! -Please visit our web page (http://squirrelmail.org) and go to the section -titled "Mailing Lists". - -Installation: -------------- -For detailed instructions on how to install SquirrelMail on your server, -please refer to the INSTALL document in the same directory as this document. - -Licensing: ----------- -This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or -modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License -as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 -of the License, or (at your option) any later version. - -This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, -but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of -MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
