Hi,

does anyone knows any good webmail script in PHP? I like uebimiau, but with the php's security restrictions, it doesn't works in my server.

I don't have access to sql or mysql databases also.

The characteristics i would like the script to have are as follows:

- folders management
- addressbook
- user quota limit
- ...

I know i asking for too much things.... but uebimiau've got all of them.... and i can not run it!!!! :mad: :mad:

It would be very helpfull if scripts is free..... :)

Thanx a lot....

I'm sure you've already looked here, but you may find something that you didn't before ?

http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Email_Systems/Web-based_Email/

Perhaps Perl? Alex Hart has a good Free system, that I believe includes all the options you're looking for:

Best of Luck, If you find a good one, let us know :-)

Thanks Pearl,

yes, you are right, i had already looked in the hotscripts directory, but i didn't find what i am looking for. Without MySQL, it is difficuld to find a complete webmail script.

I am also interested in cgi scripts (although i prefer php :p). I will check your proposal about alex hart's webmail. I thought it was not free and i haven't checked it befero.

I'm very happy with openwebmail (http://openwebmail.org/openwebmail/). Very good, professional look, stable, worth a look.
I don't know though about quota, I use the server quota so I'm not sure how openwebmail handles it.

Hope this helps

wow Jad, nice webmail but i think 180$ are too much for an webmail :)

I think i'll start developing my own webmail and post it at hotscript as soon as it will be finished

There is also a cheap-and-good german hoster for PHP/MySQL (starts with 4,95 EURO).

http://www.all-inkl.com/?content=angebote_webpremium&partner=14443

The site is unfortunatly only available in german but they do have on the other hand informations for foreign costumers.

I would second squirrelmail. We're running it for over 200 clients (well over 2000 users), and it works quite well. Simple, easy, and fast even in lynx!

b1g.info try its easy but you need php to be compiled with imap and mysql.
No support in english :D

uebmiao doesn't require mysql, it's free and has all the features you would need. besides it has a great userbase community which u can get help from and has lots of addons created by 3rd parties.

Heres another vote for squirrelmail.

Ever since I experienced it about a year ago, I installed on my shared hosting account, and I've been using that when I dont have access to my computer.

Its fast, and isnt extremely bloated. :)

Well webmiau has a grat functionality, but it sucks because it stores all the session and user account data to the filesystem! I would prefer it to write this data to mySQL. Has perhaps nobody of you rewritten the script to use mySQL as storing engine?

If it's so, it would be nice to let me know :)

There's a version of uebmiao that's supposed to come out that does support mysql but dunno if it's ready or not..or when it will be ready..keep an eye on it

Just to add, SocketMail (http://www.socketmail.com) is a PHP + MySQL based email system.
