Well, you need a webmail program :)  Maybe apache.



The issue with POP and webmail are mainly that:

1) people like having FOLDERS which POP can't support in any
   resonable way
2) people will keep mail on the server.  System 7 mailboxes
   don't do very well with 1000 messages in them.  QPopper
   struggles when you delete message 400 from that mailbox.
   (almost full copy of the mailbox).

IMAP does better per 1, and good IMAP servers (Cyrus, Sendmail's
IMAP, others) keep 1 message/file.  Deleting message 400 is a simple
unlink.


If you are running webmail for 20,000 - 100k people, then other issues arise.
