I've gotten a long way towards what I wanted; we'll see how it actually behaves in practice. To summarize, I needed to make both imap-uw and cclient with -DWITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT, and for both ports I had to patch the source to use an alternate mailboxdir as outlined in the CONFIG file in the docs directory of the source tree. After adding my original mailboxes to ~/.mailboxlist the web app is opening where I want and with what I want.

Hi, I'm a mutt user myself :-) And as for a webmail software that sucks the least, it's Sqwebmail. Only caveat is that your mailboxes need to be in maildir format, e.g. you need to use Qmail or Postfix as your MTA. There are good utils available for converting mbox to maildir. And procmail works just fine with maildir. Maildir is really great in that your webmail cgi, etc, doesn't have to read a 100mb mbox file into memory before displaying a single message :-) -- mike ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I had to set up a webmailer I would choose usermin, since I use webmin for remote server administration anyway. Take this is just as another idea.

adding webmail
Hello, I want to broaden access to my home email by adding a webmail interface. Right now I'm running sendmail with procmail and using spamassassin; I'd like to keep this setup. Looking at the squirrelmail port has raised some questions for me. -I don't really grasp where the imap server comes into play -can I even keep the setup above and have squirrelmail? -can I continue to use the same 'unix' mailboxes, spools? I know that these questions are rather basic, but I'm not seeing what I need to in the squirrelmail docs, and the cyrus-imap port looks alittle daunting as well (overkill?). -- tia, Sean ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: adding webmail
Hey. I used to use ADJweb as my web-mail client. Worked pretty well, too. You should be able to find more about it at http://www.adjeweb.com/ The interface is 100% customizable and I didn't have a single problem with it while I was using it.

I got the cyrus imapd set up with my local account, but now see (unless I'm mistaken) that I can't easily use my existing 'unix mailboxes' in this situation. Whereas UW imap will allow me to continue with same mailbox format, so hopefully I can do so without too much hassle, -- Sean ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
