Re: making own webmail

SquirrelMail is a very nice open source, PHP-based webmail client. While I can't point you in the direction of a tutorial unfortunately, perhaps checking out their code will give you some ideas? http://sourceforge.net/projects/squirrelmail/

Re: making own webmail

Hello,

Second kudos for SquirrelMail. It was easy for me to setup. Had to tweek my services on the linux box a bit to accept imap connectivity, but it works for me. Web interface has a lot of customizations too, such as colors and how often it should check the email box. Was impressed.

Re: making own webmail

Accessing and sending commands to a pop account was one of the most difficult things I have done in PHP. There is an object out there that I found that did most of the hard work for me, but even using that object got hairy at times.

Try these resources to see where they lead you

Good luck, when I tried this a few years back I got a migraine after a few days of bad programming and grabbed an out of the box solution.
