[techtalk] Re: Web-based e-mail for Linux?

[Amy]

For Webmail, you HAVE to check out Squirrelmail. Far superior
to IMP, and we have used IMP for a couple of years, I think.
We just recently switched to SM, and it is fabulous.
I believe the address is http://www.squirrelmail.org/
We have over 3000 customers, and very few complaints
about this program, although not everyone uses it.
