Thanks for the pointer.

And that has likely accounted for its popularity, and all those
plugins.

I first tried oMail - written in Perl so I could easily hack the
authentication and stuff that I needed, and even looked fairly nice. But
it has absolutely no features, and the folders didn't look compatible with
courier's Maildirs. Next tried sqwebmail, but I haven't done C/C++ in
about a decade, and trying to hack the authentication for my needs looked
like too much work. Plus, not a lot of features, and I thought it looked
ugly, too.
