Re: [Web-Mail] How to make a web mail client for POP3?

Hi,

you could use Horde (in combination with IMP) (http://www.horde.org) or
ilohamail (http://ilohamail.org). There is also squirrelmail
(http://www.squirrelmail.org) and probably a lot more in general.

Horde might be a bit tricky to setup ilohamail and squirrelmail might be
easier - but I have never used it

Some info about Horde:

Description: horde web application framework
The Horde Framework is written in PHP, and provides the common
tools a Web application requires: classes for dealing with preferences,
compression, browser detection, connection tracking, MIME, and more.
.
The Horde Framework, by itself, does not provide any significant end user
functionality; it provides a base for other applications and tools for
developers. You will probably want to install some of the available Horde
applications, such as IMP (a webmail client), or Kronolith (a calendar).
.
There is a list of Horde applications and projects at
http://www.horde.org/projects.php.

Some info about IMP:

Description: webmail component for horde framework
IMP is the Internet Messaging Program (formerly, among other things, the IMAP
webMail Program), a PHP-based webmail system and a component of the Horde
project. IMP, once installed, accesses mail over IMAP thus requiring little
to no special preparations on the server on which mail is stored.
.
IMP offers most of the features users have come to expect from their
conventional mail programs, including attachments, spell-check, address
books,
multiple folders, and multiple-language support.




Horde / IMP are actually part of a full groupware-suite based on IMAP and a
database. They can be used with POP3 though.





Some info about ilohamail:

Description: Light weight yet full featured multilingual web-based IMAP/POP3
client
IlohaMail (pronounced: e-lo-ha-mail) is a light weight yet full featured
multilingual webmail program that is easy to use.
.

.

* Calendar included
* Bookmarks manager
* Search messages
* Customizable - Over 2 dozen user preferences
* Support for over 20 languages
.
Upstream Homepage is http://www.ilohamail.org/



Some info about squirrelmail:

Description: Webmail for nuts
SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP4. 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 required) 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.
.
Homepage: http://www.squirrelmail.org/


They are all for Linux / Unix. If you're running windows I can't help you.
AFAIK Horde / IMP runs as well on windows.
