KISS principle based :-)
For webmail, other people will recommend Squirrelmail, but I like IMP quite a bit. It does ssl natively and will also connect to an SSL enabled IMAP server (unlike Squirrelmail). It can be a bit harder to setup than Squirrelmail, but not if you use the hand rpms (assuming, of course, and rpm system). IMP can be found at http://www.horde.org/ Cheers, Tanner -- Tanner Lovelace | lovelace(at)wayfarer.org | http://wtl.wayfarer.org/ --*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- GPG Fingerprint = A66C 8660 924F 5F8C 71DA BDD0 CE09 4F8E DE76 39D4 GPG Key can be found at http://wtl.wayfarer.org/lovelace.gpg.asc --*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- This would be a very good time to hang out with the Open Source people, before they get formally reclassified as a national security threat. -- Bruce Sterling
