I intend to offer a webmail interface to the staff and pupils once the core
system is operational and have had my eye on "Prayer". Do you have any
advice on this arrangement?
I don't know much about Prayer, but I thought I would suggest a webmail system that has worked well for me and is relatively easy to set up: Squirrelmail (http://www.squirrelmail.org)
Squirrelmail is all PHP, so all you need is PHP running with a web browser and you're good to go. No compiling and very little setup. Prayer may be faster, since it compiled C, I'm not sure. If you want to have Squirrelmail make SSL encrypted connections to uw-imap, you need to use the development version (1.4.x), other wise you can use the current release version (1.2.x).
Just putting it out there as an option that is known to work on many systems.
(By the way, if anyone is wondering, I did get Squirrelmail to work with SSL connections to uw-imap -- something was goofy with either my PHP or my OpenSSL install and updating to the latest FreeBSD ports fixed everything).
