Don't forget to mention that it also opens a new IMAP connection every
time.

I've installed it. I've had problems from the very first minute on. It
should also be noted that PHP has been "not very secure" pluse

Yeah, yeah... However, what the world needs is less glitter and more
security. Lemme see...

SQWebmail:
* does not need PHP
* does not require  safe_mode to be turned off in PHP
* has less memory leaks (try sorting the columns and wait for the magic
  8MB wonder to happen)
* eats up *A LOT* less CPU time
* does not require the user to run an IMAP server.

And so on and so forth. Squirrelmail looks like a nice add-on for UW
IMAP on a RedHat Linux box running bind and sendmail IYAM.
