IMP is PHP3.. SquirrelMail PHP4.
There is a beta version of IMP in PHP4 but I went with SquirrelMail and did
some simple modifying to meet my needs.
The main part of it is this
$pos = strpos( $HTTP_HOST, '.' );
$host = substr( $HTTP_HOST, $pos + 1 );
$username .= "@" . $host;
Here are the two files I modified to make this work correctly.
Just install SquirrelMail and replace these two files
Then users can login to webmail.virtualdomain.com and only use their
popname and password to login. No more user%virtualdomain.com
There are a few other modifications to be made but you should get the idea
from these to files.Feel free to email me if you need help.

There are three ways to call webmail.php
1. webmail.php
- this just loads the default entry screen.
2.
webmail.php?right_frame=right_main.php&sort=X&startMessage=X&mailbox=XXXX
- This loads the frames starting at the given values.
3. webmail.php?right_frame=folders.php
- Loads the frames with the Folder options in the right frame.
This was done to create a pure HTML way of refreshing the folder list
since
we would like to use as little Javascript as possible.
