That all depends on what you mean by "works with". If you mean that a user can access their email either via POP3 or via webmail, then virtually any webmail system will work. My personal favorite is Squirrelmail (which I see you don't want), and I've heard good things about IMP. Also, the speed of the system typically depends more on the speed of the IMAP server than of the webmail. The webmail program doesn't deal directly with mbox files (or Maildir, etc.); instead, it talks to an IMAP server which deals with the mbox files. If your webmail program is too slow, try switching IMAP servers. On the other hand, if you mean that you want a webmail package that uses POP3 instead of IMAP because you don't have an IMAP server, you'll probably not have much luck. POP3 really isn't designed for that sort of thing at all; it's far too basic. POP3 is good for one thing only: downloading mail. Even simple things like multiple folders are beyond its capabilities. -- Samuel Merritt OpenPGP key is at http://meat.andcheese.org/~spam/spam_at_andcheese_dot_org.asc Information about PGP can be found at http://www.mindspring.com/~aegreene/pgp/ _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
