Free netscape webmail software for linux

NS WebMail project is a simple set of PERL scripts, it works using module Mail::POP3Client, and allows to send and receive MIME compliant mails.
The whole thing is "secured" using POP3 authentication, ie mail cant be send or retrieved without initial correct authentication.APOP and standard PASS authentication work.
No need of any SQL base and so on. However, better know how PERL and CGIs work ! This allows NSWM to remain simple and light, and not to require an important set of PERL modules.
NSWM now support two kinda security improvments:
- HTTP Auth: just configure your Apache to authenticate user with normal HTTP Auth. Then you
need to use indexauth.pl instead of index.html as a start page, and run NSWM in mod_perl.
It works automatically.
- Cookie stored key: the key used to encrypt the password may be stocked partially in a cookie.
This prevents bad guys from accessing other users inboxes when they used shared computers.
You have to enable this feature in the configwm.pm file, at "cookiedomain": enter your
domain to enable the feature, comment the line out to disable.
Both security features will work over HTTPS.

Anyone translating the langpack in another language is asked to send it us, please !
This way we can improve NSWM.
installation
1- Unzip it:
On performant UNIX (with recent gnu tar), do a tar xvzf nswm-XXXXXX.tar.gz
On Windows, use Winzip or PowerArchiver (http://www.powerarchiver.com)
2- Set up your favorite HTTP server to handle the application.
For Apache:
=> put an Alias section as /nswm for the nswm/html directory
=> put a ScriptAlias section as /nswm/cgi-bin for the nswm/cgi-bin directory
For IIS,NES:
Use the graphic interface to set it up properly. Refer to server documentation.
3- Then you have to edit configwm.pm file and specify your SMTP server ($SMTPserver variable).
Words and paths can be set up in config.pl file.
You can also choose the language.
Nota: configwm.pm template is configwm.pm.dist.
4- PERL Modules to install if not installed:
Dont forget to install them (example with Mail::POP3Client):
=> perl -MCPAN -e install Mail::POP3Client on UNIX (or see at http://www.cpan.org)
or ppm Mail-POP3Client on WNTs ActivePerl (but better see at http://www.activetsate.com)
The following modules/packages are needed:
IO-stringy,MIME-Base64,MIME-Lite,MIME-tools,MailTools,Mail::POP3Client,TimeDate,URI,CGI
(yeah, thats a lot, i know. MIME encoding/decoding isnt a simple thing...)
5- Misc install things:
Dont forget to chmod 777 (or, better, chown apache or nobody or www-data) the /var/opt/nswm/log and
/var/opt/nswm/tmp directories if you dont change those locations in the configwm.pm file.
You can do a small cron script to launch bin/nswmcron to enable the automatic cleanup of temp files (This is automatically done by the RPM). Dont forget to change the html/title.htm file....
Enhancements:
- Several improvements in mail header decoding in the inbox.
- Optional ability to report spam to spam software (tested and documented with SpamAssassin).
- Full management of the "Urgent header".

Netscape::Cache is a Perl object class for accessing Netscape cache files.

SYNOPSIS

The object oriented interface:

use Netscape::Cache;

$cache = new Netscape::Cache;
while (defined($url = $cache->next_url)) {
print $url, "n";
}

while (defined($o = $cache->next_object)) {
print
$o->{URL}, "n",
$o->{CACHEFILE}, "n",
$o->{LAST_MODIFIED}, "n",
$o->{MIME_TYPE}, "n";
}

The TIEHASH interface:

use Netscape::Cache;

tie %cache, Netscape::Cache;
foreach (sort keys %cache) {
print $cache{$_}->{URL}, "n";
}

The Netscape::Cache module implements an object class for accessing the filenames and URLs of the cache files used by the Netscape web browser.

Note: You can also use the undocumented pseudo-URLs about:cache, about:memory-cache and about:global-history to access your disk cache, memory cache and global history.
There is also an interface for using tied hashes.

Netscape uses the old Berkeley DB format (version 1.85) for its cache index index.db. Version 2.x.x is incompatible with the old format (db_intro(3)), so you have either to downgrade or to convert the database using db_dump185 and db_load. See convert_185_2xx for a (experimental) converter function.

Netscape::HistoryURL is a URI::URL subclass with Netscape history information.

SYNOPSIS

use Netscape::HistoryURL;

$url = new Netscape::HistoryURL(http://foobar.com/,
LAST, FIRST, COUNT, EXPIRE, TITLE);

The Netscape::HistoryURL module subclasses URI::URL to provide a URL class with methods for accessing the information which is stored in Netscapes history database.

The history database is used to keep track of all URLs you have visited. This is used to color previously visited URLs different, for example. The information stored in the history database depends on the version of Netscape being used.

Postaci (Turkish word for Postman) is a multiplatform PHP webmail software which is database independent, IMAP/POP3, multilanguage(32 languages) and fully MIME compatible. While using POP3 mode to fetch messages it uses database fields to simulate IMAP folders, on which you can save, move, delete,read e-mail.
It is a easy to set up, really secure environment and been downloaded by more than hundred thousand users all around the world. It also is bundled with a simple adressbook, a notebook, a bookmark manager application.
Postaci includes multidomain(virtual) support. Domains are stored in a DB table and all users must be linked to a domain. It can be done at tblDomains and tblUsers tables at the database. If you have a single domain on your server you won t need to do this. There must be at least one domain at the database and its index should be 1. This is the default domain for any user. You can change your default domain at the tblDomain.sql file at the queries folder.
Enhancements:
- SMTP authentication for those who need to authenticate to send email.
- An Email Address field in Preferences allows you to manually set your From: email address.
- A problem in moving messages when using IMAP has been fixed.

Netscape::History is a Perl object class for accessing Netscape history database.

SYNOPSIS

use Netscape::History;

$history = new Netscape::History();
while (defined($url = $history->next_url() ))
{
}

The Netscape::History module implements an object class for accessing the history database maintained by the Netscape web browser. The history database keeps a list of all URLs you have visited, and is used by Netscape to change the color of URLs which you have previously visited, for example.

With this module, you can get at the URLs stored in a Netscape history file, delete URLs, and add new ones. With the associated Netscape::HistoryURL module you can access the information which is associated with each URL.

Please Note: the database format for the browser history was changed with Netscape 4. Previously only the time of most recent visit was available; now you can also get at the time of your first visit, the number of visits, the title of the referenced page, and another value.

Netscape Friends Activity Sidebar is a Firefox extension that helps you keep tabs on what stories your Netscape friends are submitting, commenting, and voting on. A new toolbar button (shown in the extension preview image) features Chad, the older, more mature brother of AOLs little yellow chat mascot. When there is new activity by your friends (i.e., a new comment, story submission, or vote, depending on your settings), the button will be activated and Chad will send a friendly wave your way. Clicking on the activated button will open a list of your friends activity in the sidebar, allowing you to easily browse their stories and comments. Each time you view your friends activity, you will only be shown activity that is new since the last time you opened the sidebar.

Note: The sidebar limits activity to five items for each friend. If there are more than five items to view, a "View all of Chads activity" link will be shown at the bottom of the friends section. You can always view all of a friends activity by clicking on their name or avatar.

To make use of this extension, you must be logged into Netscape.com. If you do not have a Netscape.com account, sign up at http://www.netscape.com/signup Accounts are free, and it only takes a few minutes to create one. Once you have a Netscape.com account, you can submit stories and videos, vote for other peoples stories, rate comments, comment on stories you find interesting, as well as use this extension.
