I test drove the WebMail server, and, ... it was nice! What I had in mind
was a simple stand-alone (with a robust email server API: POP IMAP, NEWS)
Apache mod_perl email module, that would allow authorization, read,
compose, send, forward, and delete. I don't think it would need to read
attachments, but being able to save and attach files would be useful. A
simple directory interface would also be useful but not hard requirement.
An eligant simple interface would cover about 90% of most needs. Having it
simple and easy to install is key.
