SquirrelMail
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.
Login
The first screen
presented to the
user is the
login screen
where they enter
their username
and password to
log into the
IMAP server.

Message List
After the user
logs in, the
first folder
that is opened
is the INBOX.
This is the
summary of the
INBOX folder
with the message
listing on the
right, and the
folder listing
on the left. The
folder list
(left) and tool
bar (top) are
always present
inside
SquirrelMail for
easy navigation.
Message List
Reading a
Message
One of the most
common tasks
performed by an
email client is
actually reading
messages. This
is the message
reader for
SquirrelMail. It
is designed to
allow
unobstructed and
easy reading.

Folder
Management
Since IMAP folders
are stored on
the server, it
is also
essential to
have a proper
folder
management
utility.
SquirrelMail
supports all the
necessary
functions used
when managing
folders: create,
delete, rename,
subscribe, and
unsubscribe.
