Thanks- looked at Squirrel Mail. Looks really good,
however we use POP3- I don't think Squirrel Mail
uses POP3 does it?


Most if not all web-based mail clients use IMAP since a
web-based (i.e. browser-based) client can't store the
received mail on the local computer the way a
POP3-based email client does.



I'm not sure why there's all this talk about not using POP3. You can
leave messages on the server with POP3 as well, it's just not as fully
featured as IMAP. Some webmail clients *do* support POP3 while leaving
the messages on the server. In fact, I think that the PHP functions
are the same for both IMAP and POP.


Very true. However to do the same with POP3 takes a lot more effort and I thought programmers are supposed to be lazy ;-)
