and html mail need not be synonymous. A good web front-end can
generate plain text messages, as, I'm sure, Gregg's does:-).

Hi All,
Here is the results of my looking for a Web Mail package. That is of course, if you are in the least bit interested.
I have settled on a package called "squirrelmail". This package was not mentioned in the short discussion about Web Mail, but a search using google.com found this package for me amongst others.
Squirrelmail is quite easy to install, and is accessible with speakup. It is easy to configure, not that much to do unless you want to get really fancy with it. The web side client is viewable through lynx with little or no difficulty. (My problem is that I am not over familiar with lynx as I am with other browsers. you lynxperts would find it a breeze.) Now when I am away from home, I am able to use a Web browser to read my mail. This means, that I will be able to use any computer that has access to the Web, with the capability of speech, to check in and read the mail.
So if you have ever wanted to or ever want to check your email when you are not at home, then I recommend squirrelmail as an excellent solution.
To install squirrelmail:
Debian users can do the good old
apt-get install squirrelmail
and sit back and enjoy the beverage close to hand.
RedHat users will first need to get the rpms, of which there are 3, and then do a
rpm -U ...
I do not believe that squirrelmail is available to the apt4rpm users.
Note: Squirrelmail requires you to have imap and php installed and running on your machine.
Squirrelmail can be found at
squirrelmail.org
Thanks to Keith Watson for testing with me last night. We both installed squirrelmail, Keith on a Debian box and myself on a RedHat box, and we tested each others setup using both lynx and that other operating systems browser, Windows Exploder. I think that I can speak for Keith when I say that we are both happy with how accessible and easy squirrelmail is to use.

One thing that I did on my web mail server is set it up so that you use
https:// when getting in to check your mail. This adds some security to
it. I imagine that regardless of which web mail server one uses using
ssl links should add some security.

Indeed it will, but believe it or not, not all webmail servers have this
functionality, or at least, they didn't when I was checking out the option
about a year ago.
Cheers.

Toby. I'm not disagreeing with you but from what I've seen on mail
servers if you want to incorperate a link on your web page to go to the
web server to check your email make the link an https url instead of
http and that should open the new page using ssl. In thoery it should
work. I use mailreader and they specifically suggest doing this in the
docs. This is different than using pop-ssl which some servers support
and some don't. Of course with mailreader if you know the exact url you
can easilly just go directly to it with http:// but then again, you
could set that in apache so only https is allowed when accessing any
certain document.

Steve. I use qpopper as the pop daemon on the system. I've also
done some fancy playing around and setup smtp so that if you
authenticate with qpopper successfully there is a 15 minute window
that you can use my server as smtp as well. So if you use the web
mail page it authenticates itself for smtp. The webmail program
mailreader is very speech friendly to windows users with internet
explorer as well as lynx users from dos or lynux.

Hi Ann & all
It is not for reading Web mail from other locations, but instead it is for hosting web mail. What I want to be able to do, is to connect to my linux box when away from the house and check the mail. My reasoning for the Web Based Email approach is that that if at work or anywhere else, I can connect to my web server, and check the mail. This solution seems like the simplest so that I don't have to worry about being behind any firewalls. If I have Web access through the firewall, then I will be able to check my mail.
If there any flaws in my thinking, I would be glad to hear about them. But so far, it seems like the best way to go.

One thing that would consern me is the accessibility of webmail agents. I know, that our university's webmail system is a gonner when it comes to wineyes and ie. I haven't tried it with lynx though, because I've got fetchmail.

Hi Janina. If they ask you for a suggestion for a new agent, just tell them Argosoft if they run winblows. A friend of mine runs it and it is very accessible.

If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are real
good, you will get out of it.

This sounds like a good solution. I''m sure, however, that I don't need
to remind you of the possible security implications of such a set-up?
Still, at least you won't be using the same servers as Hotmail. *grin*
Btw, the list has been dead for around 24 hours, is this right? At first,
I thought something was wrong here, but there's nothing for this period in
the online archives either.
Cheers.

Hi. In terms of security, just make sure that whatever you use for
web-based mail can support SSL logins. This way, any sniffer that may be
on your company's network can't see your pwd, or at least not easily. As
an example, I am probably going to run SSH off this box sometime in the
near future when I get a router that actually supports dmz.

I typed in webmail on freshmeat, and found at least 6 of them. As for how good they are, I don't know.

Hi all,
Steve, why would you want a webmail program when mailman or l-soft
work just fine, unless you're trying to sub to topica or yahoogroups.

Hi, catching up on email from my vacation. I use mailreader from
http://www.mailreader.com. I got it installed via a Debian package but
you can do it by hand as well.
