We just spent some time looking at PHP webmail clients. Here are our
"contenders" list. We were looking at making extensions to them
so the comments are mostly aimed at looking inside the code to
see how well written it was.
wMail
http://wmail.sourceforge.net/ -- quite small, fairly barebones,
has mostly OO code with a mix of some non-OO at the top level.
IlohaMail
http://blog.ilohamail.org/ Not entirely OO and uses tabs for
indents. Has some classes. Seems to get good reviews. Has PGP
encryption.
JAWmail
http://www.jawmail.org/ Very nice OO looking code, although
could use de-tabbing. Uses some PEAR components.
NOCC
http://nocc.sourceforge.net/ -- OO code, well indented. .tar.gz
file extracts into current directory, so be careful.
Here is our also-ran list, some of which were discarded fairly
quickly (quick look inside the code, loud scream of horror at the
spaghetti, rm -rf).
* doldawebmail
* ismail / Inside Systems Mail
* DiomWEbmail -- download file is corrupt, too alpha.
* Personal Webmail -- no IMAP support.
* PHlyMail -- not free.
* OverLook -- in Italian, a squirrelmail fork.
* Aeromys -- download corrupted.
* VAMP -- POP3 only.
* Basilix -- code utter crap, breaks the world record for global
variables.
YMMV.
